United States of A.I.

Send us Fan MailFuturist Sheridan Forge predicts that Social Security Fund will be saved by A.I. - not only would A.I. run the system better and more efficiently, but should every A.I. agent and robot in the workplace be required to attain a tax ID number and pay income (payroll) tax, and contribute to the social security system as a human laborer would, the system could likely be re-funded and made solvent for the foreseeable future. In theory, workers displaced by A.I. could be made beneficiaries to those accounts and live comfortably without a separate UBI system. The collected payroll tax would bolster U.S. Treasury reserves, pay for social services and infrastructure evolution to support the very A.I. systems that are generating national wealth - in addition to corporate profits for their employers thru 24/7 work and efficiencies unattainable by human laborers. It would ease the pain of transition, provide a path to abundance for all, and equity between biologic and synthetic citizens.
