LinkedIn founder Reid Hoffman unveils ‘super agency’ vision at TED AI conference, takes subtle shot at Elon Musk


LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman introduces 'super agency' framework for AI development, dismissing near-term election risks while advocating for balanced regulation and human-AI collaboration in emerging cognitive technologies.
