The idea of all people getting a monthly check of 10,000 dollars, without any condition, looks like a utopia. But according to an former OpenAi-plating, this utopian idea can become a reality in the age of artificial intelligence.
The leaders of the technological industry have long advised the idea of a (RBU) – a monthly subsidy of the state intended for the entire population, paid unconditionally.
Most pilot programs so far tested are actually guaranteed basic performance programs (RBG), which assign regular payments only to specific groupsdefined by your Socioeconomic Statutestresses the.
Most of these programs included monthly income between $ 500 and $ 1,500 per month (about 430 to 1300 euros). Among the exceptions is a program tested in the UK in 2023, which provided for a payment of to participants.
But Miles Brundageformer OpenAi researcher, considers that these values could be much higher: economic growth driven by artificial intelligence could make it to $ 10,000 monthly – something like 8,500 euros per month, without conditions.
In a post published this week at X, Brundage said that political decision makers They should think of great. “I believe that a much more generous RBU experience than those that have already been tested (say, $ 10,000/month instead of a thousand) would show significant effects”, .
According to the former OpenAi researcher, this would be possible due to the impact that AI will have on the economy. “Thousand dollars/month It is relevant to what is politically feasible today, ”says Brundage.
But “Ten thousand dollars/month will be relevant for what will be politically feasible within a few years, with the growth driven by the IA”Notes the former executive of the ChatgPT mother house.
“But unfortunately This is very expensivethe multimillionaires gave up on the idea, and a bureaucrat would be crucified for it, So it won’t happen“Brundage concludes.
Brundage resigned in 2024 from the position of senior policy advisor and leader of the General Artificial Intelligence Preparation Team at OpenAi. At the time, wrote in a blog that Labor disorders caused by IA They were one of his greatest concerns.
The CEO of OPENAI, Sam Altman It helped fund one of the biggest studies on basic performance, which to some beneficiaries – experience that showed that, after all, RBU.
It is not strange that some billionaires are interested in the theme, in particular the leaders of the main AI companies, such as Elon Musk (Grok / xIA).
They will probably be concerned with getting a solution to what the experts worry: what artificial intelligence seems to provoke.
