By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Elon Musk predicted that AI and robotics will create such abundance by 2036 that money will become irrelevant, leading to deflation. While this vision was met with online mockery, venture capitalist Vinod Khosla offered a more nuanced perspective. Khosla suggested that such an abundant future is only possible if political will ensures fair distribution of benefits, warning that without active policy intervention, AI could instead lead to a dystopia of increased inequality.
