Superagency - Reid Hoffmann

Tech visionary and co-founder of Manas AI Reid Hoffman shares his unique insider’s perspective on an AI-powered future, making the case for its potential to unlock a world of possibilities.


As taught at UPenn's Wharton and Stanford.

Superagency offers a roadmap for using AI inclusively and adaptively to improve our lives and create positive change. While acknowledging challenges like disinformation and potential job changes, the book focuses on AI’s immense potential to increase individual agency and create better outcomes for society as a whole.

Imagine AI tutors personalizing education for each child, researchers rapidly discovering cures for diseases like Alzheimer's and cancer, and AI advisors empowering people to navigate complex systems and achieve their goals. Hoffman and co-author, tech and culture writer Greg Beato envision a world where these possibilities, and many more, become a reality.

Superagency challenges conventional fears, inviting us to view the future through a lens of opportunity, rather than fear. It’s a call to action – to embrace AI with excitement and actively shape a world where human ingenuity and the power of AI combine to create something extraordinary.

Entrepreneur Reid Hoffman is a co-founder of LinkedIn, Inflection AI, and Manas AI. He is also host of the podcasts Possible and Masters of Scale.

Review

"Parts of this book will surprise readers who are expecting predictable Silicon Valley techno-optimism. Hoffman and Beato are indeed optimistic about an AI-powered future, but they are also deeply and sincerely humanistic in ways that we need. The combination is an important contribution to a vital public debate." -- Anne-Marie Slaughter, CEO of New America and Princeton Professor Emerita



“As Chair of Stanford’s HAI advisory council, entrepreneur, investor, podcaster, and author, Reid is a crucial advocate of a future where AI unlocks new levels of creativity, productivity, and problem-solving that will help humanity achieve extraordinary things. Superagency is an essential companion to that work as it continues to explore why human-centered AI will be critical to a brighter future for us all." -- Fei-Fei Li, AI Pioneer, Co-Director of HAI and Professor of Computer Science at Stanford University

"Superagency provides an essential lens on how AI can address some of the most pressing global challenges of our time and ensure that everyone in society can benefit from this technology. An important read." -- Bill Gates

“In Superagency, Reid Hoffman brilliantly accomplishes what he so often does: assess challenges, present solutions, and work toward equitable opportunities. Workers will increasingly use personal, organizational, business process, and cross-organizational agents as trustworthy tools to increase value and solve complex problems. Through experience, research, and humor, Reid reminds us that new technologies like electricity—even publishing books at scale—once seemed threatening.” -- Satya Nadella, Chairman & CEO Microsoft

“For years, those who fear AI have been dominating the airwaves. The world needs to hear more from leaders who see the potential for good in this powerful, new technology. With this book, Reid Hoffman continues his quest to engage humanity in a much-needed discussion about how we might use AI to create a brighter future that works for more people…Brilliant mind. Compassionate heart. Bold ideas…Read this book!” -- Van Jones, CNN host & bestselling author of Beyond The Messy Truth
