AI Will Do Your Job. That Should Be Good News.

Artificial intelligence and robotics will eventually break the economic arrangement where people work for money to survive. When machines become better and cheaper at most tasks, the problem will shift from production scarcity to wealth distribution. While Universal Basic Income (UBI) is a common proposal, it may not address the human need for structure, purpose, and achievement that work provides. A potential alternative is the "Omni-Game economy," a system of paid, structured activities like games, puzzles, and creative challenges designed specifically for human participation. This system would distribute the wealth generated by automation by rewarding human effort and engagement itself, rather than economically useful output, thereby providing both income and meaning.
