Sridhar Vembu says AI job losses need new work, not universal basic income
India Today
Sridhar Vembu opposes universal basic income as a solution to AI-driven job losses, arguing that it assumes monopolization of resources and fails to address the need for new forms of meaningful work. He suggests that people could earn a living through activities like caregiving, cultural preservation, and environmental restoration if AI-generated wealth is widely distributed. Vembu emphasizes that governments should focus on redistributing economic benefits from automation rather than relying on UBI.
