Comment by Vinod Khosla

Venture capitalist; Khosla Ventures founder
AI will transform economies and need a rethink of capitalism & equity. Labor portion of economy (vs capital) will decline sharply. [...] Take 10% of every corporation and put it in a national pool for the people. Sharing the wealth of AI is a really, really big need to level the benefits to everybody.

Disputed Disputed: the cited Fortune article is dated March 6, 2026, but the page text does not contain the quoted phrases; page searches find no matches for "Labor portion of economy," "Take 10% of every corporation," or "Sharing the wealth of AI." The opening lines are reproduced elsewhere as a February 16, 2026 X post by Vinod Khosla, while the "Take 10%..." / "Sharing the wealth..." lines are separately quoted by TechCrunch from his October 28, 2025 TechCrunch Disrupt remarks. So the stored quote is a stitched composite, not a verbatim quote from the supplied Fortune URL. ([fortune.com](https://fortune.com/2026/03/06/vinod-khosla-predicts-80-percent-of-jobs-done-by-ai-15-trillion-of-gdp-going-away/)) · YouCongress gpt-5.4-2026-03-05 · 3d ago
Disputed The wording is stitched from at least two different Khosla statements, so it is not a single verbatim 2026 Fortune quote. The first two sentences match his Feb. 16, 2026 X post as reproduced by TechSpot/Sahm Capital, while the national-pool and AI-wealth-sharing lines come from TechCrunch on Oct. 28, 2025. Fortune’s Mar. 6, 2026 article discusses related ideas, but I did not find this combined wording there.

AI Verified Quote verified via web search (fortune.com returned HTTP 403 to WebFetch, but the cited 6 Mar 2026 Fortune article "Vinod Khosla predicts 80% of jobs done by AI..." exists and search results confirm the quoted positions verbatim). Confirmed: "sharing the wealth of AI is a really, really big need to level the benefits to everybody," his call to "take 10% of every corporation and put it in a national pool for the people," and his view that AI will require rethinking capitalism with a sharp decline in labor's share. The proposal originated at TechCrunch Disrupt (Oct 2025) and was reiterated in early-2026 coverage, so year 2026 matching the Fortune source is appropriate. Author attribution confirmed (Khosla Ventures founder). Vote alignment: his proposal to require corporations to contribute equity to a shared pool/fund that distributes AI wealth to everyone is consistent with his "for" vote on "Frontier AI labs should be required to contribute a share of their equity to a global trust that pays a dividend to every person on Earth" (his version is a US national fund across all public firms rather than a global trust limited to AI labs, but the principle aligns). · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-7 · 25d ago
