Vinod Khosla, legendary Silicon Valley investor and entrepreneur, has predicted that AI will replace the majority of work in most jobs, necessitating the implementation of universal basic income (UBI) to prevent economic instability and inequity.
Fortune reports that in a recent blog post, Vinod Khosla, the billionaire co-founder of Sun Microsystems and early investor in companies like Netscape, Amazon, and Google, shared his insights on the disruptive potential of AI. Khosla estimates that AI could handle 80 percent of the work in 80 percent of all jobs, including roles in healthcare, sales, agriculture, engineering, and manufacturing.
Khosla warns that the widespread adoption of AI could lead to an “economic dystopia” characterized by concentrated wealth at the top and devalued intellectual and physical labor, resulting in mass unemployment globally. To mitigate these risks, he advocates for the implementation of universal basic income (UBI) as a solution.
“AI could create a world where a small elite thrives while the rest face economic instability, especially in a democracy that drifts without strong policy,” Khosla wrote. He emphasizes the vital role of government regulation in managing the impact of AI, ensuring equitable wealth distribution, and maintaining social welfare.
Despite the potential challenges, Khosla remains optimistic about the benefits of AI if used responsibly. He suggests that AI could generate sufficient wealth to improve everyone’s well-being and even usher in a three-day workweek within the next decade. For those who remain employed, AI could eliminate tedious and repetitive tasks, allowing people to focus on more fulfilling work.
Khosla envisions a future where the majority of work is handled by AI and robots, with humans providing the remaining 20 percent of work they may need or want. This shift could redefine the meaning of being human, freeing people from the drudgery of unfulfilling jobs and allowing them to pursue hobbies, spend time with loved ones, and engage in activities that promote personal growth and happiness — the typical rosy utopian future offered by everyone from communists to anarcho-capitalists.

Of course that is not going to happen because almost all jobs are in support of human living. AI or even robots will not take over anything, but those jobs in support of keeping humans alive.
If AI controlled 80% there would actually be no need to focus on any support for humanity because the robots have no needs other than mechanical and nothing else.
While it may sound strange to equate that guy’s thinking to Anthropomorphism, that is exactly what his type of hysteria is, attributing humans thinking and emotions to mechanical objects and yes your computer is a mechanical contraption, just like the robots and AI !!!
They will not get mechanical objects to think like humans, because our thoughts come from our soul and only partially from the biologics of our bodies. What men like him do not realize is that they need to up their level of understanding of what is going on in our reality and it far different than most people think it is !!!
No AI will not….BS…If Vinod Khosla bets big on AI, he’s gonna’ lose his ass…
