Elon Musk has suggested that governments implement a universal high income to mitigate job losses caused by artificial intelligence. However, economist Sanjeev Sanyal disagrees, warning that this approach could bankrupt governments. Sanyal believes AI will create new jobs and opportunities, despite initial displacement. He argues that flexible economic systems with easy insolvency and adaptable labor markets will be better equipped to handle the changes brought about by AI. Many companies, including Snapchat, Oracle, and Amazon, have already announced layoffs due to increased reliance on AI. Over 80 companies have made similar announcements, highlighting the growing impact of AI on the job market.
