AI is transforming business, work, leadership, education, healthcare, investing, and society. In this conversation, I sit down with Reid Hoffman, co-founder of LinkedIn, Manas AI and Inflection AI, founding team member at PayPal, pioneering investor in companies including OpenAI and Airbnb, author, podcaster, and one of the most influential thinkers in technology and entrepreneurship.We explore why Reid describes himself as a strategic optimist about AI, why leaders need to ask what could go right, and how AI could expand access to medical advice, legal support, education, government services, and personal productivity. 🤖We also discuss the practical side of AI adoption inside organizations, including why so many companies get stuck in pilot purgatory, why AI should become part of everyday meetings and workflows, and how leaders can build a culture of experimentation and learning.Reid shares his views on AI agents, the future of work, the changing role of junior employees, agent management as a core skill, and why young people can turn AI fluency into a major career advantage. We also cover where competitive advantage comes from in an age of powerful foundation models, how AI is changing investing, why domain expertise still matters, and what AI could mean for healthcare and drug discovery.Finally, we explore the risks of AI, including cybercrime, social disruption, responsible deployment, and the debate around AGI and superintelligence. Reid explains why leaders need to move fast, learn continuously, and steer AI toward better outcomes for people, businesses, and society. 🌍Topics covered include:AI and the future of workAI agents and agentic AIReid Hoffman on SuperagencyAI strategy for business leadersHow companies can move beyond AI pilotsAI, healthcare and drug discoveryAI skills for young peopleThe future of jobs and junior rolesResponsible AI adoptionAGI, superintelligence and AI riskHow AI will reshape organizationsStrategic optimism and what could go right with AI#AI #ArtificialIntelligence #ReidHoffman #FutureOfWork #AgenticAI #AIAgents #BusinessStrategy #Leadership #Technology #Innovation #Superagency #GenerativeAI #AILeadership #FutureOfBusiness
