Topic - Universal Basic Income in the Age of AI: Lifeline or Illusion?

As artificial intelligence and automation continue to reshape the world of work, many are asking: What happens to jobs? Careers? Economic survival? Universal Basic Income (UBI) has re-emerged in public discourse as a possible solution—a guaranteed income for all, regardless of employment status. But would it truly help people survive and thrive in a post-AI economy? Or is it an appealing illusion that raises more questions than it answers?
Join us for an open, thoughtful conversation about the future of work, value, and human purpose. Together, we’ll explore a range of perspectives—economic, ethical, psychological, and philosophical—as we ask:

• What is UBI really meant to solve?
• How might AI change not just what jobs are available, but how we define productivity and worth?
• Could UBI empower creativity and freedom—or lead to unintended consequences?
• Is economic security a right in an age of machine labor?
• How does UBI and/or AI impact skilled trades?

Whether you're a technophile, skeptic, philosopher, or just curious, all are welcome as we continue our monthly exploration into the big questions that shape our lives and futures.

Join us as we explore these questions and more in our ongoing monthly discussion series, where we aim to go deeper into what shapes our shared human experience.
