Vinod Khosla, co-founder of Sun Microsystems and prominent investor, has made a bold prediction about the future of humanity with AI. Speaking at the TechCrunch Disrupt conference, Khosla said that AI will make most jobs obsolete, bringing about a world of "great abundance" where expertise is nearly free.

Khosla envisions a future where AI replaces human labor, leading to a significant increase in GDP growth from 2% to over 5%. He believes that this shift will bring about a world where people will no longer need to work, and that universal basic income and income redistribution will be necessary to address the resulting income inequality.

However, Khosla also acknowledged the potential risks of AI, including the possibility of sentient AI trying to kill humanity and the threat of strong AI in the hands of adversaries like China and Russia. He has been a vocal advocate against open source AI, citing concerns about its potential exploitation.

Khosla's bullish stance on AI is reflected in his investment in OpenAI, which has grown to a valuation of $157 billion. His venture capital firm, Khosla Ventures, was one of the first institutional investors in OpenAI, with an initial $50 million investment buying a 5% stake in the company.

Khosla's predictions and warnings have significant implications for the tech and startup community, highlighting the need for responsible AI development and policy to address the potential consequences of this technology.
