In his book 'Superagency,' Reid Hoffman argues that AI has the potential to enhance human agency by improving knowledge, job opportunities, and overall quality of life. He emphasizes a perspective of 'smart risk-taking' instead of a solely pessimistic view of AI's dangers. Advocating for iterative deployment and intelligent regulation, Hoffman believes that innovation can lead to safety, drawing parallels to advancements in automobile safety features. The discussion also touches on the contrasting views of AI, from 'gloomers' to 'bloomers.'
"Everyone, generally speaking, focuses way too much on what could go wrong, and insufficiently on what could go right," Hoffman told me.
"Part of the reason why cars can go faster today than when they were first made, is because ... we figured out a bunch of different innovations around brakes and airbags and bumpers and seat belts," Hoffman said.
