At Apollo House 2026, Unity Stoakes sat down with entrepreneur, investor, and technologist Vinod Khosla of Khosla Ventures for a wide-ranging fireside chat on what AI platform shifts mean for healthcare. Khosla traces the arc from the microprocessor to the internet to mobile, then argues that today’s AI wave is larger than any prior platform change, with implications that could bring high-quality care to billions.They explore why “copilots” can underperform in complex clinical work, what an “AI intern” model could look like in practice, and why trust, supervision, and fit-for-purpose guardrails matter. In a live exchange with Esther Dyson, the conversation also turns to the human element of care, empathy, and what “real” health support should include beyond diagnosis.
