Vinod Khosla, founder of Khosla Ventures, proposed at the TechCrunch Disrupt 2025 conference that the U.S. government take a 10% stake in all public corporations to redistribute wealth generated by AI technology. This idea was inspired by President Trump’s past decision for the US government to purchase a 10% stake in Intel. Khosla believes this measure could help manage the societal disruptions prompted by artificial general intelligence (AGI). He emphasized the need for significant societal changes due to potential job displacement caused by AI, viewing this as an opportunity for startup founders to innovate across various sectors. Khosla’s vision highlights the potential for startups to develop AI for numerous professions and reshape the nature of work.
