Hello everyone and welcome to At Bairns.

I'm Andy Surwer and welcome to our guest, Reid Hoffman, entrepreneur, venture capitalist,

author, thought leader, co-founder of LinkedIn, who's now working almost exclusively on AI.

Reid, great to see you.

Great to see you.

It's been far too long, although we've known each other for years.

Absolutely.

Going all the way back to the PayPal Mafia days.

Exactly.

So let's start and talk about your AI portfolio career right now.

And can you give us the lay of the land in terms of all of your

various activities? There's obviously some creation of kind of companies. So like I've co-founded my

first company since LinkedIn inflection as a personal assistant, personal intelligence called Pi,

which is live and available on iOS. And the

theory is, is that part of how we as human beings get amplified and what the future of artificial

intelligence will be is that everybody has a kind of a personal intelligence that is their kind of companion, their navigation. And so

that's one really intense effort. I've also been doing a number of investments, you know,

in everything from foundational models to applications like, you know, kind of Coda and Tome and

other kinds of things that are the reinvention of work through artificial intelligence.

You know, I was the first funder of Open AI, you know, in, you know, that years ago.

So it's been a quite journey.

Now, I've also, of course, been trying to help governments and industries navigate this well because I think the dialogue is far too negative.
