He is a giant of modern technology and business. It's Reid Hoffman, the co-founder of LinkedIn, which is the world's largest professional networking platform. Maybe you're on it, and he is arguing in favor of a rapid adoption of AI in the workplace all around the world. He sees AI as another machine, which makes some human jobs obsolete, but he argues humanity will be able to adapt. There's probably no one who's thought more and been more sort of immersed in the implications of AI for jobs, for the workforce than Reid Hoffman, the founder or co-founder of LinkedIn, and he's a pretty political person, a vocal critic of Donald Trump.
