Comment by Bernd Leukert

It could be a solution - not today, not tomorrow, but in a society which has changed fundamentally by digitization. I try not to think in rigid structures, but to see what is changing in the world and how we might react when things arrive as we expect. We have to protect our society. That's why the idea of a basic income. Disputed source

Disputed MISATTRIBUTED. This quote is attributed to Bernd Leukert (SAP) but it actually belongs to Timotheus Höttges, CEO of Deutsche Telekom. Evidence: (1) The source URL itself (zeit.de/2016/01/zukunftsvisionen-timotheus-hoettges-roboter-technik) is an interview with Höttges, not Leukert. (2) The Intereconomics journal (2017) confirms Höttges said UBI "could be a solution – not today, not tomorrow, but in a society that will go through the fundamental technological change of digitisation." Bernd Leukert did separately advocate for basic income in a Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung interview, but this specific quote and source URL belong to Höttges. Timotheus Höttges does not yet exist as an author in YouCongress. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-6 · 4d ago
