    1. SS: Prof Geoffrey Hinton, often called the godfather of artificial intelligence, is calling for a universal basic income to help manage the economic impact of AI. In a recent interview with BBC, Hinton expressed concerns that AI could replace many jobs, worsening inequality. He argues that UBI, which provides everyone with a fixed income, could help ease this transition.

      Hinton, who left Google to speak more freely about AI risks, also warned about the potential dangers of AI, including extinction-level threats if AI surpasses human intelligence and gains control over critical decisions. He stressed the need for international regulations to prevent such outcomes, noting an AI arms race with countries like Russia and China.

      I’m glad more people are saying this and realizing it but it probably won’t be reality until Gen A can’t find work

      Too many older scaremongers preventing a good introduction of UBI. The only problem I genuinely see happening is companies becoming greedy and charging more because they know people have more money to go around. Imagine working harder to be more better off though! Rather than to hardly get by because of a fake cost of living crisis.

      When? I heard about it 10 years ago. They keep doing these small experiments with it and it’s always positive. Just implement it already!

      Instead of UBI, working hours should be reduced instead. Working will always be a necessity, but it’s how much we value that necessity over what it truly is. Today we value it more than what it’s truly meant for. Leading to overwork, burnout, stress, among hundreds of other effects.

      How about the companies that use ai pay for it and companies that continue to employ people in those roles don’t.

    7. Our ape-brain society is leagues behind where it should be. Instead of planning for advancements like UBI, clean energy & climate solutions, denuclearization, affordable health care & housing, etc we’re stuck „debating“ whatever latest form of bigotry has been cooked up, or whether people should be able to wear a dress if they want, etc.

      I can’t see UBI getting a footing in a country where people are still able up be duped into thinking ’socialism‘ is a synonym for ‚Nazi‘, or that capitalism is synonymous with ‚freedom‘. Powerful folks/institutions will fight with tooth & nail to keep people from having access to health & home without slaving away for their businesses.
