“Universal income will be necessary over time if AI takes over most human jobs,” tech titan Elon Musk wrote in a tweet, CNBC reported. Universal basic income is a concept where a government gives cash to people regardless of their employment status. “There is a pretty good chance we end up with a universal basic income, or something like that, due to automation,” Musk told CNBC. “Yeah, I am not sure what else one would do. I think that is what would happen.”
