While speaking in Nikhil Kamath\u2019s podcast WTF, Khosla said AI could take over as many as 80 per cent of existing jobs.<\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\">However, Khosla also remained optimistic over AI, saying it would create opportunities in ways that are hard to imagine today.<\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\">When asked by Nikhil Kamath whether students should specialise or diversify, Khosla responded without hesitation: \u201cBe a generalist.&#8221; He explained that AI will outperform humans in narrow, specialised tasks, but the ability to think broadly, stay curious, and adapt will become the most valuable career traits in the decade ahead.<\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\">In a world where AI will increasingly handle execution, Khosla believes the real edge will lie in daring, visionary thinking.<\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\">For aspiring entrepreneurs navigating today\u2019s wave of disruption, Vinod Khosla offered candid advice: \u201cPick a problem worth solving.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\">In a podcast last month, Vinod Khosla reiterated his bold predictions about the future of work. Citing the same figures, he said, \u201cWithin the next five years, AI will be able to do 80% of any economically valuable job that humans can do,&#8221; according to the report. He further noted, as quoted by Fortune, that by 2040, \u201cthe need to work will go away\u2014people will work on things because they want to, not because they need to pay their mortgage.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Khosla in the podcast said that he\u2019d expect to effect more change in the world in the next 15-20 years that he\u2019d done in the last 50 years of his life.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI won\u2019t be wish to make more money in the last 25 years of my life while I\u2019m lying on my deathbed,&#8221; Khosla said in the podcast.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atawrap\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atadetailwrp\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd ataname\"><span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atthumb\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"authorimg\" src=\"data:image\/jpeg;base64,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\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"\/><\/figure>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd attitle\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/byline\/business-desk-19052.html\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atamail\">Business Desk<\/a><\/p>\n<p>A team of writers and reporters decodes vast terms of personal finance and making money matters simpler for you.
