Vinod Khosla on the future: A billion+ programmers

Legendary investor, Vinod Khosla has shared his take on how the world will look like in a post gen-AI world.

Here are the top takeaways from his presentation:

Expertise will be free

We will be capable of having accessible AI-based near free tutors for every child, and doctors for every citizen 24x7.

It's hard to imagine a world that is very likely where all expertise...whether you're talking about an oncologist or an endocrinologist or a structural engineer or an architect or a coder is in an AI.

Labor will be near free

We will have a billion bipedal (and other) robots freeing humans from the servitude of undesirable jobs, creating a larger industry than the auto industry.

Computer use will grow expansively

There will be a billion+ programmers all “programming” in natural, human language, dramatically increasing what can be done with computers. Computers will adapt to humans, not humans to computers, democratizing computers

AI will play a large role in entertainment & design

Music and entertainment will be plentiful, and personalized for you and your mood! Content creation would be commoditized, but not change the celebrity-consumer relationship.

Internet access will be mostly by agents

Most consumer access of the internet will be agents acting for consumers doing tasks and fending off marketers and bots. Tens of billions of agents on the internet will be normal

Cars could be displaced in cities

We could replace the majority of cars in most cities with personal autonomous transit as on-demand, affordable, public transit with little public financing. This will reduce congestion, increase city street throughput.
