About this listen

 The episode explores the growing necessity of universal basic income as a response to the rapid expansion of artificial intelligence across the global economy. Experts suggest that because AI can replace cognitive and creative labor much faster than traditional technologies, society faces a unique risk of permanent job displacement and extreme wealth inequality.

Ultimately, the source frames UBI as a vital tool for maintaining social stability and personal dignity in a future where human work may become optional.
