The article asks "how long before these robots can perform useful work?". Less than 5 years is my take for most industries. And within 10 years it will permeate society. AI is advancing faster than our slow legislators can keep up. Thats not a bad thing, but we need to push them to act on UBI while we still can. We can see the cliff of societal collapse in the distance, and we havnt gone off it yet so there is still time to prevent it. I've never liked the thought of UBI, but I fully recognize the potential of AI, as well as the threat it poses to people's livelihoods. We cannot and should not stop pursuing AI advancements (even if we did others would not), thus our only choice as a society is to adapt. The most efficient way to prepare for this future is to set up a UBI system while we still have time.
Contact your representatives and tell them we need to begin drafting legislation for UBI ASAP. With as fast as AI is moving now, it will only move faster as the AI is put into robots and they begin to build manufacturing facilities faster than humans can. We still have a little bit of time to act now.
