Part 9/10:
As AI becomes ubiquitous and robotic efficiency rises, Gato argues that we may enter an era of economic transformation. Millions of AI agents could lead to a dramatic drop in job availability, prompting a critical discussion on Universal Basic Income (UBI) and government roles. With the potential for an abundance of goods and services—thanks to AI efficiencies—the need for traditional employment may diminish, forcing governments to rethink their economic strategies.
Gato probes deeper into the philosophical implications, questioning what work will mean when machines can perform most tasks. He suggests that new, creative, and interconnected job roles will emerge, focusing on human-centric tasks that machines cannot replicate—such as sports, arts, and design.
