Vinod Khosla, founder of Khosla Ventures and co-founder of Sun Microsystems, argues that major technological revolutions should force a renegotiation of society's basic economic contract. He states that AI will significantly diminish the requirement for labor at any given level of GDP, and without honesty about this, the transition will be chaotic rather than optimal. Khosla emphasizes the need for a strong social safety net, core government services, and preserving the human element in the emerging world to gain public acceptance of AI. He also stresses protecting people and transitions, not necessarily existing jobs, while maintaining a strong safety and security posture.
