Summary

Now on Spotify Video! When Reid Hoffman first began studying artificial intelligence at Stanford, the world wasn’t ready for it yet. Years later, inspired by conversations with top tech innovators, he recognized AI’s potential and seized the moment. As the founding investor in OpenAI and co-founder of Inflection AI, he’s at the forefront of shaping AI and the future of work. In this episode of the AI Vault series, Reid introduces the concept of "superagency," where AI enhances human capabilities rather than replacing them.
