Risques pour les visas et l'impact sur la liberté d'expression

“There is no if. There is only when.”

That’s how Reid Hoffman answers when asked whether AI will revolutionize business, help govern nations, or cure cancer.

And he’s earned the right to say it. In the six months between his first appearance on GDIY and this one, we’ve witnessed some of the biggest breakthroughs in AI history.

But those same six months have also deepened the rift between the U.S. and Europe.

While most of Silicon Valley’s leaders are bowing to President Trump’s politics of fear, Reid remains one of the few willing to challenge it — defending freedom of speech in its purest form, not the version sanctioned by power.

After co-founding PayPal and LinkedIn, he went on to serve on the boards of dozens of companies including OpenAI until 2023, and Microsoft, where he still sits today.

He also advises several governments seeking to understand how AI can be deployed responsibly across society — and even in governance itself.

In this episode, Reid shares how to unlock AI’s full potential, and how he personally uses it every day : to write, to think, and to challenge his own ideas.

A brilliant, grounded mind — far from the radical “tech bros” — driven not by hype, but by a genuine belief in progress.
