Comment by Dario Amodei

If AI-driven labor displacement ends up being large in magnitude and permanently drives down the demand for labor, it will likely be necessary to go beyond mere incentive programs to long-term income support for a significant fraction of the labor force. Mechanisms such as universal basic income could be financed through taxes on relevant companies or raising the capital gains tax. Universal capital accounts offer another vehicle.

AI Verified Verified: the quoted passage appears verbatim on Dario Amodei’s official essay, “Policy on the AI Exponential,” at the cited URL. The page is headed under Dario Amodei and dated “June 2026,” and the exact text appears in the “Long-term macroeconomic support” bullet. I could verify the quote and attribution, though the visible page text does not show a specific June 10, 2026 publication date.
