The big problem with AI as I see it is you have to tell it very specifically what you want. Leaders often know the outcome they want but not how to get there. AI can weigh pros and cons if you give it a comprehensive list, but it can't replace the experience gained over years and help identify blind spots to keep leadership out of trouble. I think it probably will take place in some companies. Within 6 months after several bad decisions based on AI the board is going to say "this isn't working out" try to hire back staff again and likely run into some very tough problems. Potential candidates will know what your previous staff was worth to you. Would you want to plant your flag there? In my view this winds up being a very big stumbling block for the companies that adopt the idea completely. It's fine to use AI to make workers more efficient and provide better answers, but wholesale replacement? From what I've seen we're a long way from there yet.
And Andrew Yang lives in a beautiful fantasy of his own making. The rich don't want to take care of the poor now. But they're going to be on board with UBI for 90% of the workforce? I sincerely doubt that. If you look at all those people pushing it they're the wealthy who will never have to rely on their little experiment. All one needs to do is look at welfare, the projects, and all of the other "assistance" the government provides. Sure it's helpful to those who need it, but it's broadly abused and doesn't fully meet the need. UBI would be that on steroids.
