2017 The Real Threat of Artificial Intelligence By KAI-FU LEE
It’s not robot overlords. It’s economic inequality and a new global order.
Chinese and American AI will have a strong impact on white-collar jobs as well. Is universal basic income the solution? In Lee’s opinion, probably not. AI is poised to bring about a wide-scale decimation of jobs — mostly lower-paying jobs, but some higher-paying ones, too. We are thus facing two developments that do not sit easily together: enormous wealth concentrated in relatively few hands and enormous numbers of people out of work.
U.S. vs CH — Enormous wealth concentrated in the U.S. and China
Google, Tesla and Uber. As for the consumer internet market, seven American or Chinese companies — Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Amazon, Baidu, Alibaba and Tencent — are making extensive use of A.I. and expanding operations to other countries, essentially owning those A.I. markets. It seems American businesses will dominate in developed markets and some developing markets, while Chinese companies will win in most developing markets.

<Our Opinion of how this should work> –
Companies will pay the taxes from displaced workers where they now have robots working instead. YES those companies own it all and will pay for it all. The government will in turn give the taxed money to the population. The whole goal of machines was to take the place of people having to do it. It should be a win win situation.
If the biggest companies own it all they have to subsidize it all.
Basic Universal Income.
People who wish to… can choose to can work in the “service jobs” that A.I. cannot do, that society needs, for even more money.
Profits are the domain of the last century it’s the way the world used to work, because now there is no need to work! There is only a need to help others.
