Future of AI and Universal Income

Um, you know, sometimes in AI they talk about universal

basic

income. I think it's actually gonna be universal

high income,

um, where anyone can have any goods or

services that they want.

Um,

you know, a, a s- a, a science fiction book recommendation

that I have,

which I think is probably the best envisioning of an AI

future is, uh,

the, the, the Culture books by Iain Banks.

Uh, very highly recommended,

um, for a, uh, non-dystopian view of the future.

Um,

now, there, there obviously are some risks, you know, um,

which illustrate perhaps the--

if we don't do this right, you know, you could have like a James Cameron sort

of

movie, um, you know, Terminator. Um, we don't want that

one. Um,

but, uh,

but having sort of a Star Trek future would be great, where we're out

there exploring the stars, discovering the nature of

the universe,

um, and, um,

and a level of prosperity

and hopefully happiness that we, uh, can't quite imagine

yet. So I'm, I'm very excited about the future.
