Superagency: What Could Possibly Go Right With Our AI Future

If you use LinkedIn, you can thank Reid Hoffman, who co-founded the professional networking site and is now a venture capitalist. In Superagency, co-authored with his writing collaborator Greg Beato, he makes the case that AI can be used in an egalitarian way that will help society, offering benefits such as personalized tutoring and faster cures for disease. He foresees a world where AI supplements human intelligence but doesn’t replace it. While not everyone will agree with Hoffman’s optimistic perspective — even Hoffman has called for “edufare” to help displaced workers obtain better skills — he brings a valuable insider’s perspective to the issue and how it is relevant to Social Capital CEOs.
