Universal Basic Income

from Future Jam

What If technology keeps advancing at the current rate; will we ever lose jobs to automation? When tasks are made simpler with robots, automation, and artificial intelligence, and when their implementation becomes more widespread, whose to say that someday our current jobs and careers won't get replaced. It's a futuristic idea, but one that lies just within our realm of imagination. And so we must ask ourselves, "what if?" What if employment opportunities become obsolete? How would a society completely reliant on artificial intelligence earn an income when merely human skill-sets offer no value in comparison? This leads us to the big question of Universal Basic Income. Will there ever be a need for UBI? Follow Us @thefuturejam on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram
