The Jobs Revolution: Is AI Working for You? (Reid Hoffman)

About this episode

Amol Rajan discusses the implications of AI in the workplace with tech billionaire Reid Hoffman.

This week, Amol is joined by the tech billionaire Reid Hoffman. Hoffman is best known for creating the largest professional network in the world, LinkedIn, and revolutionising the world of work. His radical idea is that he wants to do it again with a rapid adoption of AI in the workplace in a way that is safe and ethical. The question is, how? In this episode we ask one of the world’s richest men why he thinks AI could change the workplace for better and for worse, whether billionaires should pay more tax, and his former relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.
