AI, Power & Our Future (Part 2): Empire of AI

Dublin, 🇮🇪 Ireland

A cinema-style book club series on AI, power, and what comes next—from The Coming Wave to Empire of AI.

We’re not just reading about AI anymore.
We’re living inside it.

From breakthroughs to disruption, AI is reshaping how we work, think, and lead.

But beneath all the innovation lies a deeper question:

👉 Who is shaping this future and who truly benefits from it?

This is the second session of a 2-part live series on AI, power, and society.

We go deeper into the bestseller book Empire of AI: Dreams and Nightmares in Sam Altman’s OpenAI by Karen Hao , unpacking the ambitions, power, and contradictions behind the race to build AI.

🎬 THE EXPERIENCE

This is not a typical book club. It’s a curated space for thinking, questioning, and understanding what comes next.

Hosted at Odeon Point Square Cinema, one of Dublin’s most iconic cinematic venues, this is far from your typical book club experience.

👉 Think:

  • cinematic setting
  • immersive conversation
  • curated, intimate experience

🧠 WHAT THIS SESSION IS ABOUT

Written by award-winning journalist Karen Hao, one of the leading voices covering artificial intelligence and the tech industry, Empire of AI pulls back the curtain on the rise of OpenAI, Sam Altman, and the race to build machines powerful enough to reshape the world.

Drawing from deep reporting and insider access, the book explores the dreams, ambitions, and growing tensions behind the companies driving the AI revolution.

This session will unpack:

• The hidden power dynamics shaping the future of AI
• The tension between idealism, profit, and control
• What the race toward AGI means for creativity, work, and society
• Whether AI is being built for humanity or simply becoming another empire

🔁 PART OF A 2-PART SERIES

This event is Part 2 of a curated AI series:

Part 1 — The Coming Wave (April 30)
→ Understanding the scale and speed of AI disruption

Part 2 — Empire of AI (September 30)
→ Who holds the power behind AI systems
(based on Empire of AI by Karen Hao)

👉 Attend one or both but together, they tell the full story.

WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT

This event is part of My SafeSpace , a platform rethinking how we engage with books.

We don’t just recommend or summarize books. We turn them into experiences, conversations, and perspective shifts.

👉 Think Blinkist or Audible meets real-life dialogue but deeper, human, and interactive.

🧩 WHAT YOU’LL EXPERIENCE

✔️ A guided breakdown of key ideas from the book
✔️ Real conversation on AI, power, and society
✔️ A curated, intimate setting (not a crowded event)
✔️ Open discussion — your perspective matters
✔️ Networking with curious, forward-thinking people

👥 WHO THIS IS FOR
  • Professionals trying to understand AI beyond the headlines
  • Leaders navigating change
  • Curious minds who want depth, not just content
  • Anyone asking: What does this mean for me?
🎟️ CALL TO ACTION

If you're trying to understand AI , this is your room.
If you're trying to navigate it , this is your conversation.

👉 Limited seats due to venue capacity , secure your spot now.

April 30th, 2026 : Our first live cinematic book club in the Iconic Offices in Dublin.

A room full of curious minds, thoughtful conversations, and genuinely wonderful people.
The energy in that room was something special.

🎁 Bonus (Limited)

The first attendees to register will receive:

• A complimentary copy of one of the featured books

And on the attendee side, we have techies who know how to turn caffeine into code and can make an app out of thin air. This event is not just about networking, it's about connecting with fellow mid-/senior tech pros in the industry, sharing a laugh or two, and maybe even finding your next career move. So come join us for a unique networking event where job seekers take the driver's seat!

We will: listen to short and sweet pitches by CTOs and hiring teams and vote best pitch (who said that corporate evaluation can't be fun?), talk all things tech, network and run speed interviews, meet faces behind our fav tech brands, and see what our local tech has to offer this season.
