AI Unverifiable I found similar, correctly attributed statements from Martin Ford about basic income addressing automation-driven inequality and unemployment, including BIEN’s 2016 summary of his White House roundtable remarks and Ford’s own LinkedIn post. However, I could not confirm this exact wording verbatim, and the cited tweet URL itself did not return retrievable text in the fetched result.
