A Post-Work Futre only works with Basic Income. 29 September 2026 13:00-16:30 we have a slot at the »Post-work futures in the EU and beyond: Grounding digital transformation in lived experience« in Brussels where we can present our ECI. lino.lmt.lt/en/events/po... #postwork #ubi #eciubi2027
A Post-Work Futre only works with Basic Income.

AI develops faster then most people think. The complexity of tasks that can be completed by AI doubles every 3 to 7 month.

If our labour is no longer needed, we need to »decouple our livelihoods from the ability to sell our labour power« (quote from our ECI).

The more of us who stand together for universal basic income and say it, the harder it is to ignore.

Another UBI skeptic flipped because of AI--a contributor to the American Conservative and New York Post "For years, I opposed Universal Basic Income, firmly and reflexively... That position no longer survives contact with reality."

It's great to see economist @justinwolfers.bsky.social making the case that AI has given new urgency to the case for universal basic income, calling it "a payment society is owed rather than a form of redistribution." ALL of us trained those AI models. It's OUR work and OUR data being fed to them.

>50% of work is not paid at all (household, care). While women already earn 12% less than men when it comes to paid labor, if unpaid labor is factored in, the real pay gap: 45% less than men. UBI would help immensely here. #genderpaygap #UBI #eciubi2027 todon.eu/@eci_ubi/117... basic-income.eu
More than 50% of work is not paid at all - mostly in household and care. This work receives no financial compensation. While women already earn 12% less than men when it comes to paid labor, if unpaid labor is factored in, the real pay gap widens dramatically: women earn 45% less than men. Unconditional Basic Income (UBI) would help immensely here.

Everyone should know what she did in response to a thousand homes being lost to wildfire in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. She did basic income before the hundreds of new pilot experiments, not because of the evidence, but I think because of her profound sense of empathy.

We used to have 7 day workweeks. Then labour fought long and hard for a day off, then 2, and better work conditions all around. There's no reason we can't keep progressing, given the promise of AI, robotics, and labour-saving technology. UBI is a central part of this vision.

»The demand for a basic income fundamentally points to the necessity of a different economy, to the end of money fetishism and market society. It proclaims the obsolescence of a political economy built on the fragile foundation of labor and, in a sense, prepares for its collapse.« André Gorz, 2003

Basic income doesn't ask you to prove you're deserving. It starts from the fact that you already are. We all bring something — even the small stuff: teaching a kid chess, checking on a lonely neighbor, holding space for a friend. What's something you or others bring that rarely gets counted?

The US is headed for mass unemployment, and no one is prepared
Universal Basic Income (UBI) is no longer a liberal fantasy, but a necessity to prevent social fracture and buy time as AI continues to replace jobs faster than institutions can adapt.

Basic income is a floor to stand on, but also a springboard, whether that's starting a business, making art, or caring for family, without having to prove your worth through production first.

"This could drive an unprecedented transformation of our economy, larger than the Industrial Revolution, but unfolding over a vastly shorter time frame. It could bring risks, including large-scale job displacement, as well as opportunities such as major gains in living standards." from the website https://www.wemustactnow.ai/  signed by 200 scientists.

Ireland has shown that basic income works — not just socially, but economically. Give people time and security to develop their skills, and the returns flow back to society. Now let's go further.
