When I gave this talk in 2016, I spoke on the Future of Capitalism. I discussed how mass-scale automation engineered by Artificial Intelligence stands to render human beings useless. With nothing to do. With no mechanism to earn a livelihood. The Economic impact of AI on society was my primary concern. My general conclusion was that we need Universal Basic Income – a form of economic redistribution – to keep society from spinning out of control. This conclusion is now, by and large, an accepted remedy in a world that is about to go through extensive automation. However, it is likely to take a couple of decades to fully infiltrate society. So we’re not quite going to a post-work world immediately.
