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. AI Verified source (2026)

Verification History

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 · 5d ago
