Reid Hoffman

I am genius.

I don't need AI.

It's like, no, no, I am genius because of the way that I use AI.

What people don't realize is every new major general purpose technology has a discourse that's very much like parallel to the one we're having today, which is this new technology is going to destroy society.

Well, yes, we may add the Terminator robots as a negative possibility, but is the basket of risk get better or worse?

And I think it just gets better.

Everybody's going to have multiple agents and assistants for everything they're doing, whether it's...

podcasting or writing or analyzing.

And there will be more agents than there are people.

Big tech companies who are trying to make a lot of money are building these things.

And which things should I trust these AIs on and which things should I not?

One of the things that I think people haven't really fully tracked yet, but I think will be very interesting, is how...

It's great to be here.

I've been looking forward to this.

I guess probably it's like I'm kind of, you know, to put it philosophically, a humanist.

which is how do we make ourselves better individually and as a group?

So it's empowering a bunch of different individuals' lives, but also leaving the world much better than we found it, and kind of how do we do that?

And that's kind of the red line through everything I do, including companies, because you want to do companies that, of course, have all the normal company things of running great product services and jobs and all the rest, but you also want it to be the impact that you have on the world

leaves the world in a much better place.

You transform industries, you transform societies.
