The AI dividend [View all]

I just watched a pretty good Smerconish with Andrew Yang and a guy who is predicting possible 99% unemployment by 2030.

Yang was talking about a "Freedom Dividend" a while back and now he brings up the idea of taxing AI companies to create UBI, universal basic income. To me, that needs to be a political issue. Obviously.

AI needs to pay tax, both income tax and FICA, imo. I thought this about non-AI automation for a long, long time. With AI putting everyone in the same job replacement boat, maybe we can finally do something about making sure all boats rise with the tide.
