AI "age of abundance" and retirees
Discussions around AI often highlight its potential to eliminate jobs while simultaneously ushering in an "age of abundance" and universal high income. This raises questions about the implications for retirees, particularly those expecting to live for decades solely on their assets. A key concern is how an AI-based utopian economy might impact inflation, and what this means for long-term financial planning in retirement.
This discussion uniquely frames the AI "age of abundance" in terms of its specific impact on retirees and inflation, unlike broader analyses of job displacement.

People keep talking about AI eliminating jobs, but also eliminating the need for job, and ushering in an age of abundance and universal high income. I wonder what this means for a retiree who may be expecting to live another 30+ years off of their assets alone? Putting it another way, I wonder how the coming AI-based utopian economy will impact inflation?
