Starting as an early AI enthusiast during his Stanford days, Reid Hoffman was eager to explore the potential of artificial intelligence, but the technology wasn’t ready, so he shifted his focus. Years later, inspired by conversations with top tech innovators, he recognized AI’s potential and seized the moment. He became a founding investor in OpenAI and later co-founded Inflection AI. In this episode, Reid introduces the concept of "superagency," where AI enhances human capabilities rather than replaces them, addresses common fears about AI, and shares his vision for a future shaped by AI-powered agents.
