## Resource

What's holding back AI adoption in large organizations? Nicolai Tangen speaks with Reid Hoffman, co-founder of LinkedIn, partner at Greylock, and board member at Microsoft. They explore why AI is the biggest tech revolution of our lifetime, how startups are deploying it effectively while large companies take a risk-first approach, and why Europe must get in the game rather than just regulate from the sidelines. Reid shares his contrarian investment philosophy that led to early bets on PayPal, Facebook, and Airbnb, and offers crucial advice: the next generation must become AI native. Tune in for an insightful conversation! In Good Company is hosted by Nicolai Tangen, CEO of Norges Bank Investment Management.
