The AI dividend

[BH liberal]

8. Science Fiction writers and futurists have been discussing the "robot" issue..

for decades now. Will we get our utopia when AI production frees us from the necessity of being members of the labor force and provides us with a guaranteed income derived from the profits? Or will a dystopia result when all-powerful corporations own both the machinery and the profits from AI production after pink-slipping nearly all of us? Our government has not even begun to deal with this issue yet.
