Universal HIGH INCOME via checks issued by the Federal government is the best way to deal with unemployment caused by AI. AI/robotics will produce goods & services far in excess of the increase in the money supply, so there will not be inflation.

AI Verified The quote clearly supports government-issued universal cash payments: it says 'Universal HIGH INCOME via checks issued by the Federal government is the best way' to address AI-caused unemployment. Even though it says 'high income' rather than 'basic income,' it plainly implies support for implementing a universal basic income-type policy. · YouCongress gpt-5.4-2026-03-05 · 17d ago

AI Verified The quote explicitly endorses "Universal HIGH INCOME via checks issued by the Federal government" as "the best way" to address AI-caused unemployment, which clearly supports implementing a universal income program. · YouCongress gpt-5.4-2026-03-05 · 17d ago
