The article discusses Dario Amodei’s views on the potential impact of AI on inequality and the need for a universal basic income (UBI). As the CEO of Anthropic, a prominent AI research company, Amodei believes that AI will significantly disrupt the job market, leading to widespread job losses. He argues that a UBI could help mitigate the economic consequences of this disruption by providing a safety net for those displaced by AI. Amodei suggests that a UBI could be funded through taxation on AI systems and the companies that develop them. He also emphasizes the importance of developing AI systems that are aligned with human values and interests to ensure that the benefits of AI are distributed equitably. The article highlights Amodei’s concerns about the potential for AI to exacerbate existing inequalities and his belief that proactive measures, such as a UBI, are necessary to address this challenge.
