AI to End Work as We Know It: Expert Predicts Today's 5-Year-Olds May Never Need to Work

An AI expert, Vinod Khosla, predicts that the rapid development of AI will lead to the automation of 80% of jobs by 2030. This will drastically reduce the cost of living and allow people to pursue work that offers personal fulfillment rather than mere survival. According to Khosla, education will become a choice for personal enrichment rather than an economic necessity. During the transition, people will take on roles supervising and training AI systems. This prediction aligns with recent estimates from other experts, such as a former OpenAI employee, who predicts that AI will surpass humans in almost every field as early as 2027, with an impact greater than that of the industrial revolution.
