Here's a suggestion to folks who think AI will take over most jobs in the not-too-distant future. Don't talk about compensating the losers using existing frameworks of social insurance. We don't have anything remotely necessary to do that. The UI system - even if made much better - is not designed for that. If you want voters to feel good about such a scenario, so that they don't vote to shut it all down, think of solutions that don't involve telling most people they'll receive unemployment benefits or welfare payments indefinitely. [Again, I have very serious doubts that this is where we'll be anytime soon, but if you do, my advice is for you. Also, given more realistic disruptions to employment from AI, the UI system can work quite well, especially if we implement long-overdue reforms.]
