Conscious Evolution of an Economic Social Contract

from The AI in Business Podcast

Most of society functions based on a general social contract i.e. we work to contribute to society and earn income to acquire goods. Those who can't earn an income are required in some fashion to validate why. In this episode with Federico Pistono, an entrepreneur, author, and futurist, asks if this contract is the only way to exist as a society. In a more automated world, is this contract the best long-term structure for the common welfare? Pistono and I discuss what a future society might be like with an altered social contract i.e. a general minimum wage for all, how this might affect our approach to "work", and the avenues for testing out such a contract in society today. .
