"It's time to take a serious look at making sure people have a decent income." #autonomicFuture #readingToday

It's time to take a serious look at making sure people have a decent income – better than welfare, whether or not they have a job. Freeing up most people in the world to pursue the life and work they choose, without worrying about survival, might sound like a utopian dream. But the age of robots is here, and they are only going to get more sophisticated.

If we don't figure out a way to get people an income, what we'll have is a lot of people sitting around neither working nor getting any income. That's a deadly danger to any society.
