Vinod Khosla's claims
“I specifically said we'd have music personalized to each person”
Vinod Khosla, on X 13 June 2019 Post by @vkhosla on X, 2019-06-13 (X)
Vinod Khosla specifically said earlier that we would have music personalized to each person.
Resolved true The record shows it happened or was so.
What would count as true or false
True if a public statement by Khosla dated before 2019-06-13 (essay, talk or interview) predicts music personalized to each individual person, for example AI-generated or AI-tailored music for each listener. Mostly true if an earlier statement predicts personalized music in a closely similar but less specific way (for example, personalized media or entertainment that explicitly includes music). Mixed if earlier statements discuss AI-created music or personalization generally, but not music personalized to each person. Mostly false if only vague AI-in-the-arts predictions exist. False if earlier statements say something contrary, or the documented statements show he made no such prediction.
Evidence
- We won't be listening to music in a decade according to Vinod Khosla | TechCrunch TechCrunch · 12 June 2019
“Instead, he believes we’ll be listening to custom song equivalents that are automatically designed specifically for each individual, and tailored to their brain, their listening preferences and their particular needs.”
- We won't be listening to music in a decade according to Vinod Khosla | TechCrunch TechCrunch · 12 June 2019
““I actually think 10 years from now, you won’t be listening to music,” is a thing venture capitalist Vinod Khosla said onstage today during a fireside chat at Creative Destruction Lab’s second annual Super Session event.”
Reasoning
TechCrunch reported on 2019-06-12, before the claim date, that Khosla spoke onstage at Creative Destruction Lab's Super Session that day (E2). The same article reports his view that people will listen to "custom song equivalents that are automatically designed specifically for each individual," tailored to their brain, preferences and needs (E1). This is a dated public talk, reported by an independent source, that predicts music personalized to each individual, which meets the criteria for true.
