Vinod Khosla, a prominent figure in the tech industry, has expressed a positive outlook on the future impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on society, despite being aware of the associated risks. He imagines a future where AI drastically cuts down the necessity for human labor, paving the way for a society characterized by immense abundance and the possibility of enhanced GDP growth. Khosla’s optimism stems from the transformative power of AI in numerous professions and its ability to tackle problems such as income inequality through the implementation of policies like universal basic income.
