The millionaire risk capitalist Vinod Khosla released a big warning and called the rise of artificial intelligence “one of the largest crossings in human history” and predicted to replace most of today’s jobs in the next five years.
Veteran Silicon Valley, who spoke about the co -founder of Zerodha, discussed the future of the labor market, including the relevance of university degrees and taking AI in the next few years.
How will AI endanger jobs?
“Most jobs you see today will be automated,” Khosla said. “It will be one of the greatest transitions ever seen by humanity.”
He said that within five years, AI will perform most of the tasks across almost every sector, from law and finance to medicine and customer support.
He claimed that AI is also able to perform very specialized tasks such as surgery, better than humans, but the only roadblock to take over AI in this field is a regulatory barrier.
“Don’t be a specialist”: Khoslava council for students
Khosla urged young professionals and students to re -evaluate their approach to their career and not consider AI for granted. Over the years, machines will be able to overcome people, even in narrow and specialized tasks. Therefore, in order to have the advantage of the labor market, he recommended to maintain learning different areas instead of specializing in only one area. “You have to optimize your career for flexibility, not the only profession.”
According to Khosly, traditional roles disappear rapidly, and survival in the era AI will depend on creativity, critical thinking and the ability to combine dots through disciplines, because they are some soft features that are still trying to replicate.
In such a world, Khosla believes that only generalists will have an advantage. When Kamath asked him if students should specialize or expand, he said, “Don’t be an expert, be a general.”
