Elon Musk floats ‘universal high income’ to offset AI-led job disruption
Tesla chief Elon Musk has fuelled the debate on the future of work, proposing “universal high income” as a solution to job losses driven by artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics.
In a post on X on Friday, Musk argued that rapid advances in AI-led productivity would fundamentally reshape the economy. According to him, AI and robotics will dramatically increase the production of goods and services.
“Universal HIGH INCOME via checks issued by the Federal government is the best way to deal with unemployment caused by AI,” Musk wrote on X.
