Vinod Khosla: 我认为专家擅长预测过去趋势的延伸,而非对未来的全新展望。成功的投资在于识别专家预测错误的领域,并押注看似不可能的趋势。例如,我们在1996年投资Juniper Networks时,没有一家电信公司预测IP协议将成为互联网协议,但我们押注了这个趋势,获得了巨大的回报。成功的投资往往具有低概率、高影响的特点,需要投资者具备坚持不懈的精神和对时机精准的把握。在评估投资者的过程中,我会关注他们的持久性和学习能力,区分真正的学习和虚假的学习,并通过提问和挑战来识别。依赖经验和惯性思维是投资决策中的不良信号。 我对未来的预测主要基于对科技发展趋势的理性推测,而非单纯的专家意见。我认为在未来几年内,人工智能技术将使专业知识变得廉价易得,双足双臂机器人将能够胜任人类的大部分工作,计算成本的下降和自然语言编程技术的进步将极大扩展计算机的应用范围。廉价的计算能力将使每个人都能拥有多个智能代理,从而改变工作方式。人工智能技术将推动医学的个性化发展,实现针对个体疾病的精准治疗;机器人技术将提高农业生产效率,减少化学品的使用;未来五年内,核聚变技术的可行性将得到证实,并将在未来几十年内实现规模化应用。 总的来说,我认为未来的社会将拥有足够的财富,能够保障所有人的基本生活水平。
