AI & Job Displacement — The Case for UBI
Central narrative in UBI Works’ 2025-2026 campaigns: AI automation is displacing workers, and basic income is the policy response.
Key voices cited: Geoffrey Hinton (Nobel Laureate, AI godfather), Demis Hassabis (DeepMind CEO), Sam Altman (OpenAI CEO — has publicly supported UBI).
Campaign: “AI is changing the balance of power. Basic income is our leverage.” — AI petition campaign at ubiworks-v8.webflow.io/ai-ubi-petition.
Messaging frame: AI productivity gains should flow to everyone via a basic income dividend, not just capital owners.
