FET #34: UBI, welfare, and economic disruption from AI

from Fresh Economic Thinking · host Cameron Murray

If the macroeconomy experiences a radical disruption, is a Universal Basic Income (UBI) going to help? How different is that from existing welfare systems? And how likely is a rapid shock from a technology change like Artificial Intelligence (AI) compared to other shocks like we experience during COVID lockdowns?Follow Cameron and Jonathan on X/Twitter.

Patti Talks Too Much Patti Hi. I'm Patti and it's been said - many times - that I talk too much. I'm a teacher, author, nature lover and for ten years I owned a coffeehouse cafe where my faith in the goodness of humans was restored every day. This podcast highlights the awesomeness of humanity - er...outside the warmongers, globalists, tyrants and politicians in general. You know, the rest of us weird, quirky and sometimes hilarious humans.We'll talk woo, probe mysteries and leave you thinking about something more interesting or entertaining or uplifting than your grocery list, or boss or that oil change your car needs. I talk too much because I can't help my Gemini moon and Leo Rising nature. I do a podcast because it's cheaper, funnier and more productive than therapy.
