AI-Powered Prosperity: UBI, EUBI, UOR and MMT for a Robot-Driven World.

"In a post-work society, which could emerge soon, the concept of Universal Operational Readiness (UOR) could be valuable. The progression from UBI to EUBI and finally to UOR is an interesting path to adaptation. As resources from high AI-and-robot-driven productivity eliminate traditional jobs, Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) could be applied to finance new economic demands. In socialist economies, this transition should—theoretically—follow automatically." To pave a secure and meaningful life and adequately reallocate the huge resources in an AI-driven world, a Universal Basic Income (UBI) for all from birth onward is mandatory. An Educational Universal Basic Income (EUBI), tying income to "learning work" that builds human capital (in a broad sense of intellectual and moral growth) and provides meaningful activity, avoids idleness and stagnation. All adults willing and not enrolled in usual or other socially significant work are eligible. UBI is totally unconditional and permanently guarnteed to all working and non working members of society. In terms of income value, it should be very basic for UBI, intermediary for EUBI, and highest for those involved in usual or socially significant work. UBI and EUBI tackle social issues—poverty, inequality, violence, and exclusion—while stimulating economies through perennial income transfers. Crucially, the high-productivity, low-cost paradigm ushered in by automation creates unprecedented economic capacity, making Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) a viable mechanism to fund these programs globally. Key Points of the Program: -Individualized Payment: Including minors from birth, guaranteeing lifelong economic citizenship. Payments are monthly, with parents or guardians managing resources for children. -Admitted Courses (EUBI): From elementary to advanced, general, technical, and practical levels. Literacy courses in letters, numbers, and IT are crucial, allowing participation from the illiterate to postgraduate levels. -Performance Verification: Minimum adequate performance in learning work is imperative. https:// onalizing-education-for-every-studen-Differentiated Pay: Higher pay for more difficult levels, encouraging cultural and intellectual progress. Segments and Problems Addressed: -All Members of Society: Work and income guarantees will permanently solve the challenge of achieving harmonious social life, reducing fear, anxiety, and interpersonal violence. -Migrants and Refugees: Programs without counterpart requirements or conditioned on educational processes could assist refugees in host countries or allow them to stay in their original countries, or in third countries established and safeguarded by the United Nations (UN). -Rising Criminality and Recidivism: Universal work and income programs reduce interpersonal violence, often generated by survival stress. EUBI programs for inmates are feasible, with lower costs than usual work. -Economic Stimulus: Perennial transfers, like those in Universal Income programs, are more efficient than episodic transfers during crises. Permanent income ensures resources circulate in the economy. -Income Inequality: EUBI concatenated with UBI attenuates extremes of poverty and wealth concentration. While economic heterogeneity remains, extremes of misery and poverty linked to work and income scarcity decrease. -Civilization’s Purpose: Universalizing work and income, with a strong stimulus to continuous educational improvement, is fundamental to the meaning and purpose of human civilization. Numerous UBI pilot programs, ongoing or concluded, highlight socioeconomic benefits for participants and their societies: https:// _basic_income_pilotshttps://x.com/ubitoday -MMT implies that if products and services are vastly available, as we foresee in the coming AI era, financing programs like those just proposed is no longer a problem, since "money" can be available without being inflationary, and taxation is just a mechanism to reallocate the resources, while economic resilience is preserved.
