Universal basic income ensures that everyone has the ability to express basic demand for basic goods and services. This is market improving. Markets can't differentiate between 0 and Ø. A store can fail because not enough customers. But is that because they didn't like it or they did but were broke?

It feels increasingly likely that either AI will actually succeed in decimating jobs and there will be Covid-like panic as the economy collapses due to decreased spending—or AI is a bubble that will burst and there will be Covid-like panic as the economy collapses due to decreased spending. UBI NOW

"AI advice suppressed judgment suspension from 44% to 3%, accuracy from 27% to 9%, while confidence rose from 30% to 76%. People trusted wrong AI answers." Meanwhile, people's attention spans are dropping because of less book-reading and more short video watching. Cool. Everything is cool.

My latest guest post for Forward Future. As capital does more and more work via automation, taxes should be shifted away from labor and towards capital and transactions. In this I offer two complementary ways of going about that shift: stock dilution and an automated payment transaction tax.

Universal basic income is an extremely important policy to fight for and win. It's not the only thing we need to do -- for example we also need universal healthcare and 4-day weeks but UBI should be seen as a floor below which no one is allowed to fall that rises over time as a productivity dividend so that as GDP grows, everyone is better off.

One very important thing it would do is provide everyone the power to say no, which translates to strike power and bargaining power, and thus better wages for jobs that can't be automated. It would provide more freedom of choice so that people can choose the work that's best for them, including unpaid care work and also including starting their own new jobs as entrepreneurs. UBI is far more than money. It is a foundation to build lives on.I've written about UBI since 2013 and

have been pushing for people to

organize and mobilize around getting it

implemented before Al began to

displace people from jobs, but here we

are. I'm now trying harder than ever to

get the wheels turning via something I'm

calling the Al Pledge for Humanity. You

can find it at aipledgeforhumanity.org.

Current signers of the pledge already include Andrew Yang, Vernon Smith (Nobel-prize winning economist), Dustin Moskovitz (co-founder of Facebook), Andrew Stern (former president of the SEIU), and many other names you would recognize. It would mean a lot to add Robert Reich to the list of names in support of UBI.
