And if we keep that mindset, then UBI is an extremely disappointing answer to it.
And I think for lots of reasons, it's not the full solution.
The world that is painted by the AI optimists is we're going to get to this post-working area where people no longer derive their purpose from work.
On our current path, yeah.
It would have to be at the point where it's not just your basic material needs are met, but the standard of living is higher than it is now, where you can go about your day and be in a better place than you are right now.
And this isn't a perfect analogy.
AI is different in all kinds of ways.
But if you look 100 years ago,
The average American worked 60 hours a week and had a much lower standard of living.
Now the average American works 40 hours a week as a higher one.
We could get to one where we work 20 hours or 10 hours and have a higher one yet, but we were able to do that transition because
Workers had power because Americans had political power because we were able to shape that technology to work for us either directly through legislation or by organizing unions and doing it indirectly at the workplace.
If this transition happens too quickly and we lose that political power, it doesn't just happen.
I agree with you.
I think kids in some ways need more protection.
And we don't know a lot of the impacts that AI will have.
That doesn't mean we don't look at places where it can benefit kids.
I mean, I can imagine a world where having a personalized tutor at exactly your level in each subject and able to communicate with you in exactly the way you like to learn as a supplement to what you're getting from teachers in the classroom and your parents is a helpful thing.
But
Teachers and parents need a view into all of the interactions, and we need strong data protection.
