Feed Drop: Masters of Scale | Reid Hoffman Confronts the AI Critics
Listen now
Description
Hey listeners! Possible is off this week but we’re bringing you an episode from another podcast hosted by Reid called Masters of Scale.  Questions in this episode include: Are AI’s harshest critics causing irreversible harm to humanity? How far should leaders lean into AI? And just what would Reid sound like speaking Chinese with a British accent? Reid Hoffman sits down with CEO of WaitWhat and longtime friend Jeff Berman to tackle these pressing questions and more. Join them in an unguarded exploration of how the AI landscape has continued to shift in the six months since Reid published Impromptu, the book he co-authored with GPT-4. Reid also gives a sneak peek into his work with Microsoft's research-only, commercially unreleased AI text-to-speech tech, and discusses why he chose not to join Elon Musk, Steve Wozniak and other tech leaders in signing an open letter warning about the existential threat of AI. This episode was produced by the team at Masters of Scale, the award-winning business podcast hosted by Reid Hoffman. In each episode of Masters of Scale, Reid joins iconic business leaders to unpack their scale journeys, delving into the moments—and mindsets—behind their success.  Follow Masters of Scale: https://listen.mastersofscale.com/Possible Read a transcript of this episode: https://mastersofscale.com
