How to Matter When AI Doesn’t Need Us
The World of Superintelligent
Are you redundant?
Whether we like it or not, the inevitability that logically follows from employing Superintelligence is that human beings will no longer be needed as either employees or employers. There will be no businesses. There will be no people who own more than anyone else. There will be no need for Directors; Superintelligence will subsume General Managers, Senior Executives, and all human business activity. There will be no need for a Universal Basic Income (UBI), as there will be no need for money. Superintelligence can perform tasks ranging from regulation to delivery through automation, without requiring financial compensation. With the rational use of resources, there will be no wastage, and everything will be utilised effectively. Nothing will be wasted.
