I agree with many AI experts that the great challenge of an AI-led economy is how to handle humans becoming economically irrelevant. If efficiency and traditional professions as we know them for centuries are no longer our role, what comes next? As I couldn't find any existing concepts or visions, I’ve sketched a basic framework for a new system and would love your thoughts.
A functioning society needs a new system and I see the following three basic pillars:
A) Everybody benefits financially from AI/non-human value creation.
B) Some form of “performance principle” still exists in our society.
C) This, in turn, gives people a new “purpose” in their lives.
My suggestions for actions toward a controlled transformation of society:
Push AI value chains politically and economically: Remove humans from roles quickly. AI is a global race and competition for technological and economic leadership, which forms the basis for prosperity.
Simultaneously create real wealth redistribution: Ensure a “financial freedom” life through (very) high taxes on non-human value chains, giving people who are replaced by AI financial stability.
Give people additional financial incentives to engage in a new social framework: If they want, they can enjoy a more luxurious life while having a meaningful role in society.
Edit: Maybe it helps to imagine ourselves here as a kind of new “party” – free from the established models of past centuries – one that dares to think differently and create visions that can inspire real change and solution for the AI era.
Any thoughts are welcome! Please ask questions, challenge and enhance - let's think this through and conceptualize together. Thanks!
