Indian-American billionaire Vinod Khosla has predicted that within the next three to five years, artificial intelligence will take over as many as 80% of jobs. However, he also emphasizes the importance of adapting to change and acquiring new skills.
Khosla attributes this transformation to a shift in how people learn and approach work. He suggests that individuals should focus on developing a mindset-first approach, with traits such as first principles thinking, resilience through volatility, and the ability to learn quickly.
According to Khosla, this means not specializing in one area but rather being adaptable and open to new opportunities. “Every 20-year-old should strive for the ability to jump into any new arena,” he advises. This approach will enable individuals to stay relevant in a rapidly changing job market.
Khosla also highlights the potential benefits of AI-driven public services, such as free or nearly free education, healthcare, and legal services. He believes that access to AI can democratize opportunities for people, particularly in India, where public services could be powered by AI.
While some jobs may become obsolete, Khosla emphasizes that humans have the power to decide how to use this tool – artificial intelligence. It is up to individuals and society as a whole to shape the future of work and create new opportunities.
