Artificial intelligence will bring huge changes to the world of work – and dangers for society. Some think they can be solved by just handing everyone money. Is there a catch?
That’s a very big if, and I’d happily support, but this is a utopia. What means will we have to demand comfortable life without economic and political power? What is more realistic that inequality will keep growing, rich people will start getting brain implants, genetically modify their kids, and we won’t even be the same species anymore. Though that’s highly unlikely in our lifetime. The point is that we must steer the direction of AI development today if we want to have power tomorrow.
