The advent of steam power greatly revolutionized the industries of manufacturing, transportation, and construction in the late 18th century. A similar upheaval is currently ongoing, in which all language-based capabilities, such as communication, reasoning, analysis, sales, and marketing, are being energized. In the At the Edge podcast, Reid Hoffman, a partner at venture capital firm Greylock Partners and co-founder of LinkedIn and Inflection AI, discusses the generative AI revolution with McKinsey’s Lareina Yee and how it can be used to improve understanding and application.
The conversation places strong emphasis on the significance of both IQ and EQ in shaping effective gen AI chatbots. When asked to introduce Reid, both ChatGPT and Inflection AI’s Pi gave varying yet insightful descriptions. The discourse aims to shed light on cutting-edge technology and its transformative potential and can be followed via several podcast platforms for further in-depth conversations.
