AI is going to be massively deflationary. How useful is UBI when the cost of goods and services approaches zero due to automation?
With that said, I can imagine the federal reserve will then helicopter in money to everyone in order to reach its 2% inflation target, which kinda sounds like UBI.
Advances like this are necessary steps to get us there.
People will be displaced in the short term, as they have for every other large scale advance... Cars, assembly line and so on. Better to focus on progress and helping those disaffected the most along the way
