Big companies are busy hiring chief AI officers and setting up tiger teams to pilot agentic products. However, LinkedIn cofounder Reid Hoffman says this overlooks where automation actually pays off - in the "unglamorous layer" of day-to-day work. Speaking with AI engineer Parth Patil on his "Possible" podcast, Hoffman said a company's AI transformation involves employees "being able to talk to each other about it and do collective learning."
"Overall, [Briggs] said, AI is becoming less of a rising star and more of an ambient operator that will quietly influence how organizations think about every process, product, and decision. 'AI is poised to evolve much like electricity-invisible in our daily lives but powering everything,' he said."
