Vinod Khosla Proposes Radical AI Wealth Redistribution to Prepare for the Future Economy

At the recent Bitcoin World Disrupt 2025 conference, venture capitalist Vinod Khosla proposed a bold plan to reshape wealth distribution in light of artificial general intelligence (AGI). He argues that without proactive measures to address the potential economic disruption of AI, vast wealth generated by AGI could exacerbate inequality and social unrest. Khosla’s proposal revolves around direct government intervention: acquiring 10% ownership stake in all public companies. This would then channel a portion of corporate profits into a national pool for redistribution amongst citizens.
