Important interview. #UBI was covered in Prof Brown's report for the @welshgovernment Review of digital innovation. gov.wales/review-digital-inn…
Super interesting wide-ranging iv with Geoffrey Hinton… he told Downing St to go for UBI plus, which wouldn’t be “socialism” a practical response to millions disappearing jobs… also go thru which jobs survive: surgeon? Taxi driver? Plumber? TV interviewer? #BBCNewsnight 🤖

We have economies that need to grow, whether or not they make us thrive. Now we need economies that enable us to thrive, whether or not they grow. Here's what I just wrote about it in @guardian 1/2 theguardian.com/books/articl…

There's a belief that being unemployed means you're not contributing to society. What if we redefine 'work' as anything that enriches our lives? Parenting, volunteering, creativity - these are all valuable and shouldn't be overlooked by a system focused solely on paid employment.

The term 'earning your keep' should be outdated by now. In an era where technology could almost entirely replace the need for human labor, why are we still clinging to the idea that one must work for survival? Basic income is not a handout, it's a right here in the 21st century.

.@BarackObama recently told us that we may need to consider a #UBI & a #4DayWeek. @AndyBurnhamGM has supported arguments for a Basic Income too. Read my column for @LabourList on why we must be bold & act now to be ahead change like AI & decarbonisation. labourlist.org/2023/11/ubi-a…

Guy Standing has just announced that he has been invited to speak in Ukraine about implementing a universal basic income after the war to assist everyone there in rebuilding the country. I'm just going to add that Russia should pay for it.

Over the last year, our Basic Income Pilot has been changing people's lives. The scheme provides financial support for young adults leaving the care system. We spoke to Brandon to hear how the scheme has helped him to invest in his future📽️👇

80% of the U.S. workforce could have at least 10% of their work tasks affected by the introduction of [Large Language Models], while approximately 19% of workers may see at least 50% of their tasks impacted scottsantens.com/ai-will-rap…

Hear me out: Instead of talking about which job AI is coming for next every other day, let's push for UBI now
There are warnings that ChatGPT-style software, with its humanlike language fluency, could take over much of legal work. New AI tech can analyze words and generate text in an instant. It seems ready to perform tasks that are lawyers' bread and butter. nyti.ms/41b908Y
