Abstract: Abstract Artificial Intelligence and robots are coming for almost everyone’s jobs and will soon take over. Business, economic, and technological change (BETC) will be too rapid and deep for people and institutions to adjust. People will starve and die, members of the unnecessariat or a desperate precariate, unless UBI is in place to provide them with necessities. Even if matters do not become that dire, UBI is a good idea anyway because it will help workers through rough patches and allow them to live their best lives with little need for labor regulations.
