Key Background<\/h2>\n

Doerr’s “underhyped” framing slots into an increasingly crowded field of tech billionaires and AI executives making sweeping, civilization-scale predictions about the technology. “We are heading toward a system that will be capable of doing innovation on its own. I don’t think most of the world has internalized what that’s going to mean,\u201d OpenAI CEO Sam Altman told Forbes earlier this year. In late January, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei warned in a blog post that humanity is entering “a rite of passage\u2026which will test who we are as a species,” calling powerful AI potentially “the single most serious national security threat” of the century. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, whose company has ridden the buildout to a roughly $4 trillion market cap, told the World Economic Forum in Davos in January that AI has already triggered “the largest infrastructure build-out in human history” and told Carnegie Mellon graduates during his May commencement speech: “AI is not just creating a new computing industry, it is creating a new industrial era.” Bill Gates wrote in January that “there is no upper limit on how intelligent AIs will get or on how good robots will get,” and told \u201cThe Tonight Show\u201d last year that within a decade humans “won’t be needed” for “most things,” with AI replacing doctors and teachers. Last week, the world\u2019s richest man Elon Musk said at the Forbes Innovation 250 celebration dinner, \u201cIn five years, digital intelligence will exceed the sum of all human intelligence. In five years, there might be at least 100 million humanoid robots, but maybe a billion.\u201d <\/p>\n

Forbes Valuation<\/h2>\n

Doerr’s net worth sits around $24.4 billion thanks largely to his stake in Alphabet, per Forbes estimates. Doerr famously wrote Kleiner Perkins’ largest-ever check at the time\u2014$12 million for 12% of a $100 million Google\u2014after meeting Larry Page and Sergey Brin in a Menlo Park garage in 1999. Alphabet\u2019s market cap has grown to $4.62 trillion today and shares are up more than 120% since last May thanks to the company’s AI pivot, from the Gemini model and AI overviews in its search function to its custom AI chips.<\/p>\n

Tangent<\/h2>\n

Doerr has also conspicuously skipped investing in crypto, telling the Journal<\/em> he didn’t see crypto as the kind of founder- and team-driven business that built his career in software, though he said “there is still plenty of time for me to be wrong.” His misses have a track record of their own: He infamously backed the Segway and Fisker Automotive, telling the Journal<\/em> his partners reminded him “never invest in anything with wheels.” (He missed Tesla.)<\/p>\n
