The Jobs Revolution: Is AI Working for You? (Reid Hoffman)
5/7/20261 hr 8 min
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.

[upbeat music] Zaxby's giant chicken finger wraps are no snack. In fact, they're so big, they get their own menu. Get one in your choice of Asian Zensation, Buffalo Blue, and Chicken Bacon Ranch, and you know they're coming packed with three crispy hand-breaded famous fingers, fresh ingredients, and their signature sauce all wrapped to perfection. Big on size, bolder on flavor, but that's just how they do it at Zaxby's. Zaxby's giant wraps, they're no snack. Who's got the sauce?

You can get their famous fingers and wings in three signature flavors: zesty lemon pepper, savory garlic Parm, and spicy Nashville hot, which means there's a little something for everyone chasing a bold hit of flavor. If you've been sleeping on Zaxby's, this new dry rub menu is about to wake you up. Zaxby's dry rubs, try all three flavors before they're gone. Who's got the sauce? Zaxby's.
