AI Summit 2026: ‘IT, BPO services will disappear in five years’, says venture capitalist Khosla

Ahead of the India AI Summit 2026, prominent venture capitalist Vinod Khosla shared his insights on the transformative impact of artificial intelligence on the job market. He warned that within the next five to fifteen years, many expertise-driven professions, particularly in the IT and BPO sectors, may become obsolete due to advancements in AI technology. Khosla emphasized that while this shift could threaten traditional roles, it presents opportunities for greater accessibility in critical areas such as healthcare and education. By democratizing these services, AI has the potential to enhance quality of life and improve outcomes for many. His comments come as India continues to position itself as a global leader in AI innovation, highlighting the urgent need for adaptation in the workforce to meet future demands. As the summit approaches, discussions are expected to focus on how to harness AI responsibly while mitigating its disruptive effects on employment.
