Artificial intelligence has sparked the latest gold rush in Silicon Valley, and it’s perhaps the biggest and most controversial one yet. We visited Silicon Valley to investigate the AI boom and ended up at a $50M mansion where we got an inside look at those shaping the future of this technology. The name of the house is AGI House, and we asked those inside — mostly immigrants — what they thought of the H-1B debate, apocalyptic fears about AI, and much more.
