Exploring Guaranteed Income in the Age of AI
Key Points:
– Elinor O’Donovan, a 27-year-old artist from Ireland, was randomly selected to participate in a basic income pilot scheme.
– She receives a guaranteed salary of just over €1,400 a month from the Irish government until September 2025.
– In exchange, Elinor fills out a bi-annual questionnaire about her wellbeing and how she spends her time.
– The guaranteed income has allowed Elinor to focus on her art by giving up temporary work.
– She describes receiving the income as “winning the lottery” and being able to cover her living expenses comfortably.
Final Thoughts:
Elinor’s experience with a guaranteed income showcases the potential benefits of such schemes, especially in the era of AI where traditional job structures may undergo significant changes. If more initiatives like this are explored, we might see a shift towards more fulfilling and socially valuable work opportunities for individuals, ultimately helping to navigate the evolving landscape of work and technology with a touch of artistic flair.
