Reid Hoffman: Shaping the AI Era, Investing in Transformation and Calling on Europe

Hi everyone, I'm Nikola Tanyan, the CEO of the Norwegian Summon Wealth Fund, and I'm here today with Reed Hoffman, who is the co-founder of LinkedIn, partner at Greylock, board member at Microsoft, and one of Silicon Valley's most influential thinkers. And today we are basically going to talk about everything that's going on, AI, uh, human potential, all the things you've been up to, uh, Reed. So wonderful to have you here. It's great to be here and um, you know, one of these awesome things about the modern world is, you know, here I am in Seattle, there you are in Oslo, and we can have a fully robust conversation that is not quite spanning the globe, but uh maybe in topic.

Now, um, Reed, you've seen uh multiple tech cycles from uh web one zero to the current AI boom, just how does it stack up compared to what you've seen before? Well, um look each new tech cycle, and even if you do a bit of history and you kind of go back to printing press and other kinds of things as as early versions of this is new and impressive and builds upon the old. And part of the current, you know, AI um just you know, massive acceleration, much bigger than, much quicker, much larger, more impact than anything else, is because it builds on the internet, it builds on the cloud, it builds on, you know, kind of the massive amount of data we have and the massive amount of commute we have, which then makes it possible to build these amazing learning machines.

And so I think it's obviously the largest. Um, now in all large things, you know, as, you know, like in your industry, there's discussion of, you know, is it, is it a bubble? I don't think it is. Um, if anything, like I don't think it's a bubble and the usual discussion of, you know, could it get to a collapse? But the impact upon all of society.
