VINOD KHOSLA

A big believer in the power of artificial intelligence, Khosla told a crowd in Toronto in June that he thinks AI could replace radiologists and traditional music over the next ten years. His Khosla Ventures has invested in Impossible Foods, the much-touted maker of meats and dairy products made from plants. After getting his M.B.A. from Stanford, he cofounded Daisy Systems, the first significant computer-aided design system for electrical engineers, and later started Sun Microsystems.
