    Money for nothing: is universal basic income about to transform society?

    The concept of a guaranteed income is gaining traction as a solution to the impact of AI and way to encourage more rewarding and socially valuable work

      If you read “Rise of the Robots” you’ll know where this is coming from.

      The author predicts a future with thousands of Indian reservation arrangements to accommodate people who no longer have any hope of employment.

      UBI is just the start.

        I’m surprised to hear that there are 100 pilots going on in theUS right now, I had no idea. I can’t imagine that UBI would gain widespread acceptance in the U.S., certainly not in the political climate of the moment.

        Steve, who wrote Rise of the Robots, I’m not familiar with that.

            @Steve-Miller Reminds me of the future premised in Brave New World so many years ago.
