The arrival of the advances related to artificial intelligence is transforming each of the industries, but it is also threatening employment, both traditional and specialized.

And to alleviate what can happen with employment in the coming years, Miles Brundage, former Openai researcher, argues that the only way to face this mass loss of work ands Implement a universal basic income of no less than $ 10,000 per month.

«An RBU experiment much more generous than those tried so far (say, $ 10,000/month compared to $ 1,000/month) would show significant effects. 1,000 dollars/month are relevant to current policy; 10,000 dollars/month will be in a few years thanks to the growth driven by AI.»

What he says is not new, because, however, Bill Gates, co -founder of Microsoft, had already warned that artificial intelligence will replace humans in most tasks, so you have to be prepared for what can come.

On the other hand, beyond stating that the work will become something optional, He commented that governments should offer high income to meet basic needs and guarantee a dignified standard of living.

Something similar also said Mustafa Suleyman, CEO of Artificial Intelligence of Microsoft, who commented that the future could go to a «universal basic provision», where intelligence and access to cognitive tools replace money as the main value resource.

Thousands brundage, in his farewell of Openaihe wrote: «I am concerned that AI interrupts the opportunities for those who seek work, but I think that humanity must eliminate the obligation to work to live; that should be one of the main reasons to build AI and AGI.»

Obviously, about $ 10,000 per month of universal basic income seems a very high sum, But the Executive considers that the economic growth generated by automation would allow financing it.
