Ben Horowitz Predicts AI Boosts Living Standards

Ben Horowitz, cofounder of Andreessen Horowitz, said on a recent episode of the "Ben & Marc Show" that artificial intelligence could reshape daily life as profoundly as electricity or the steam engine. He said AI will solve persistent problems — citing cancer, transportation, and fraud — and substantially raise living standards. Horowitz also warned that widespread automation could erode human purpose, leaving people socially unmoored and raising job-loss concerns.
