Reid Hoffman, a venture capitalist and co-founder of LinkedIn, argues that artificial intelligence is poised to be a transformative force, enhancing human agency and ushering in a new era of progress. He believes AI will augment our intelligence and energy, enabling us to achieve more and navigate the ever-increasing volume of information.
That assessment of artificial intelligence seems far behind the times, as we rush to keep up with AI. The comment is even odder because it comes from Reid Hoffman, the LinkedIn co-founder and venture capitalist who was an early investor and board member of OpenAI, which has led the current surge into artificial intelligence. But he believes we are approaching a beginning – a world changing moment, where human agency will be supercharged.
But that has been the story of humanity to date, he notes. “As Homo Techne, we are defined by our capacity and commitment to creating new ways of being through our tool-making,” he says. “Now we have an opportunity to develop new supertools. Ones that can increase our agency so much that we’re now in the midst of something akin to the industrial revolution.”
But it’s different from those other technologies as it’s more than an assist. “Because an AI has the capacity to be agentic itself, setting goals and taking action on its own to achieve them, you can leverage AI in two distinct ways. In some instances, you might want to work closely with an AI – such as when you’re learning a new language or practicing mindfulness skills.
