About Garrison Lovely
This is a publication about the intersection of capitalism, geopolitics, and artificial intelligence.
I’m a freelance journalist, the author of a forthcoming book called Obsolete: Power, Profit, and the Race to Build Machine Superintelligence, and a former Reporter in Residence at the Omidyar Network.
I’ve written about AI for The New York Times, Nature, Bloomberg, The Verge, TIME, The Guardian US, The Thomson Reuters Foundation, SF Standard, The Nation, The American Prospect, and Jacobin. My reporting and commentary on this topic has been shared by the three “godfathers” of deep learning (Yoshua Bengio, Yann LeCun, and Nobel laureate Geoffrey Hinton), noted AI critic Gary Marcus, Life 3. 0 author Max Tegmark, and others. I’ve spoken about AI at Harvard, the Federation of American Scientists, and elsewhere.
