AI and the Automated Abundance Economy

About this session

AI is already changing the world, and soon it will transform the workplace. Zoltan Istvan, a leading AI and transhumanist thinker, discusses his Automated Abundance Economy. Comprised of three parts, it offers a unique way for society to deal with the complexities of AI. 1) Establish a Universal Basic Income for those who lose jobs to automation. 2) Get robots in everyone's homes to make chores and labor easier. 3) Reimagine the American Dream, one that is not about making as much money as possible, but about enjoying leisure and creative time more in the age of abundance and automation. Zoltan Istvan leads us on how AI can become a utopia for society if a positive vision is implemented.
