In this episode of Incumbents and Insurgents, Eric Larsen sits down with Vinod Khosla - Founder of Khosla Ventures and one of the most prescient technologists of the past 50 years - for a wide-ranging conversation on how artificial intelligence will fundamentally rewire healthcare. They explore why healthcare has resisted disruption while other industries have not; how AI can reduce overhead while expanding clinical capacity; and how “free expertise” will upend primary care, specialty access, and mental health delivery. In addition, they cover labor economics, capitation, medical superintelligence, and regulation - before confronting the risks of the U.S. falling behind China and the Gulf states in healthcare AI.
