OpenAI Says Not to Worry About UBI, Because It Has Another Idea

OpenAI leadership has suggested that Universal Basic Income (UBI) may not be necessary to address economic disruption from AI, proposing alternative approaches instead. The company argues that rather than implementing broad UBI programs, targeted policies and economic restructuring could better manage the transition as AI automates jobs. This positions OpenAI's vision against growing calls from AI researchers and economists who worry that widespread job displacement will require safety-net solutions like UBI.
