What happened
On this episode of Monterra, we explore the possibility of a workless economy, the growing debate over Universal Basic Income (UBI), and whether our existing social safety nets are prepared for an AI-driven future.
From disappearing entry-level opportunities to predictions by technology executives about a future where work becomes optional, we examine what automation could mean for workers, wages, public assistance, and economic stability.
Universal Basic Income has been proposed as one possible response. But could regular cash payments realistically support millions of displaced workers? Who would pay for them? And what happens during the transition if automation advances faster than our economic systems can adapt?
The future of work may look very different from the world we know today.
Do you believe Universal Basic Income will eventually become necessary as artificial intelligence transforms the workforce? Or will technology create enough new opportunities to replace the jobs it eliminates?
