In Sydney, a discussion is underway about the defining technology of this era, artificial intelligence (AI), and its potential to shape our future economies profoundly. Techno-optimists see AI as a gateway to unprecedented material abundance, but this outcome is far from guaranteed.
Even if AI's technical promise is fulfilled, how its benefits will be distributed remains a pressing issue. Australia's current dilemma with food waste and insecurity exemplifies this tension. AI challenges the conventional economic model and raises questions about equitable distribution of wealth.
Potential solutions include adopting a universal basic income or services, which offer ways to share AI's benefits more fairly across societies. These ideas connect to broader discussions on evolving economic structures amid technological advancements, urging us to reconsider how markets function in an AI-dominated era.
