Elon Musk warns of AI takeover and calls for universal income

According to Elon Musk, who expressed his opinion during the Viva Technology conference in Paris, there is a very high chance that artificial intelligence will take over all human jobs. He suggests beginning work on universal and high-guaranteed income as soon as possible. Will this help?

Artificial intelligence is increasingly entering various areas and fields of our lives. The development of AI is causing many people to worry about their jobs because many professions may become unnecessary due to its growing capabilities and automation.

Elon Musk claims that artificial intelligence is inevitable. Moreover, in his opinion, it will ultimately end the job market. He believes there is an 80 percent chance that artificial intelligence will take over all human jobs in the future.

It's hard to say exactly what that moment is, but there will come a point where no job is needed. You can have a job if you want to have a job — sort of personal satisfaction — but the AI will be able to do everything — assessed the billionaire.

Interestingly, Elon Musk claims that such a scenario dramatically threatens humanity and that too much artificial intelligence influences our lives means "deep trouble." At the same time, he claims that AI is "the most disruptive force in history here."

Seeing the rapid development of artificial intelligence, Elon Musk advocates starting work on so-called universal, high-guaranteed income. In his opinion, people will soon receive money without needing to perform work.

There will be universal high income — and not universal basic income — universal high income. There'll be no shortage of goods or services — Elon Musk argues.
