Let’s Build an Automated Abundance Economy

Key Points

1. Machines and software are increasingly replacing jobs across various sectors, potentially making most human labor unnecessary for survival within five years.

2. Universal basic income (UBI) is proposed as a dividend to distribute the wealth generated by automation, ensuring everyone benefits from technological productivity.

3. In this model, economic citizenship guarantees intrinsic value to individuals simply by being alive, reducing the necessity of work for survival.

4. Despite automation, many people may still choose to work, but motivations will shift towards creativity and personal fulfillment rather than survival.

5. The Automated Abundance Economy could lead to a societal renaissance, with governance potentially evolving to include AI trained on ethical frameworks shaped by citizens.
