LinkedIn co-founder and Silicon Valley venture capitalist <a href="https://www.wsj.com/tech/linkedin-co-founder-reid-hoffman-kamala-harris-2583be80?mod=WSJ_BNPOD">Reid Hoffman</a> is cautiously optimistic about the future of artificial intelligence. <a href="https://www.wsj.com/arts-culture/books/superagency-review-bidding-farewell-to-dystopia-07ff9253?mod=WSJ_BNPOD">In his new book</a>, “Superagency: What Could Possibly Go Right With Our AI Future,” he argues that the current state of AI is similar to the automobile at the start of the 20th century. What does that mean for what Hoffman calls the “cognitive Industrial Revolution” and its potential to create positive change, and who is best suited to regulate it? And what does he think of his old friend <a href="https://www.wsj.com/topics/person/elon-musk?mod=WSJ_BNPOD">Elon Musk’s influence in the Trump administration</a>? Hoffman speaks to WSJ’s <a href="https://www.wsj.com/news/author/tim-higgins">Tim Higgins</a> on the Bold Names podcast.
