That's the optimistic viewpoint. It assumes Something Will Be Done. It's unlikely that much will be done in the US over the next few years, because the government is deadlocked and not oriented towards solving problems.

The "AI" we have right now seems to be able to replace at least 20%-30% of white collar jobs. Maybe more as it improves. The layoffs are underway. Now and then I remember going to the Burger King in SF next to the cable car turntable at Market Street, and hearing some homeless people talking about the good old days when they were printers and Linotype operators. That was a good union job once. Now it's gone.

We know what Universal Basic Income looks like. It looks like this.[1] I used to take a bus past those housing projects. Warehousing useless people is not a good solution.

What country seems to be preparing to handle AI unemployment well? Is there any model to copy?
