OpenAI, has outlined 10 predictions regarding the upcoming landscape of the world. These forecasts serve as the foundation for his investment philosophy. As per a report from Money Control, Khosla's predictions revolve predominantly around technology and AI reshaping societal structures, from the anticipated proliferation of one billion bipedal robots within the next 25 years to the quest for more effective sources of plant-based protein to supplant animal protein.

Reportedly, he shared on X that the objective of these predictions is to extend the resources currently accessible to only 10 percent of the population to the remaining 90 percent. Khosla discussed the possibility of having AI-driven, nearly cost-free doctors between 2030 and 2035. He noted the lack of AI expertise among most medical professionals and emphasized their inability to foresee the advancements AI might make by 2030-35, reported the publication.

He also reportedly highlighted the inaccuracy of predictions made by medical experts since he first wrote about AI in medicine in 2012. He further explained that the exponential curve of technological advancement is challenging for humans to intuitively grasp, making it difficult to imagine the capabilities of smart technologies in 2050, much like how today's smartphones were unimaginable 20 years ago. In addition to his previous AI prediction, Vinod Khosla envisions a future where there will be one billion bipedal robots within the next 25 years.
