If Mark Carney Becomes Canada's Next PM, Might He Implement UBI Due to AI? | The Basic Income Show

Episode 10 of The Basic Income Show! With the UK looking to invest heavily into AI, and Canada potentially electing a new leader worried about AI impacts, is UBI's window opening?

From there we get into some of the disinformation about the results of the Compton Guaranteed Basic Income Pilot. No it didn't lead to increased menthol cigarette smoking and soda drinking. From there we go into how the UK is looking to go hard on AI with no mention of UBI, and how the race for a new leader of the Liberal Party in Canada has uplifted Mark Carney who has been talking a lot about the negative impacts of AI and the need for strong social supports like UBI. We continue our discussion with more recent automation headlines and end with a fascinating new study that highlights how impactful UBI will be for health by reducing diseases of poverty like tuberculosis. - See my ongoing compilation of UBI evidence on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/scottsantens.com/post/3lckzcleo7s24 See my ongoing compilation of UBI evidence on X: https://x.com/scottsantens/status/1766213155967955332 For more info about UBI, please refer to my UBI FAQ: http://scottsantens.com/basic-income-faq Donate to the Income To Support All Foundation to support UBI projects: https://www.itsafoundation.org Subscribe to the ITSA Newsletter for monthly UBI news: https://itsanewsletter.beehiiv.com/subscribe Visit Basic Income Today for daily UBI news: https://basicincometoday.com Sign up for the Comingle waitlist for voluntary UBI: https://www.comingle.us - Follow Scott: https://linktr.ee/scottsantens Follow Conrad: https://bsky.app/profile/theubiguy.bsky.social https://www.linkedin.com/in/conradshaw/ Follow Josh: https://bsky.app/profile/misterjworth.bsky.social https://www.linkedin.com/in/joshworth/ - Special thanks to: Gisele Huff, Haroon Mokhtarzada, Steven Grimm, Judith Bliss, Lowell Aronoff, Jessica Chew, Katie Moussouris, David Ruark, Tricia Garrett, Zack Sargent, A.W.R., Daryl Smith, Larry Cohen, Philip Rosedale, Liya Brook, Frederick Weber, John Steinberger, Bridget I Flynn, Laurel gillespie, Dylan Hirsch-Shell, Tom Cooper, Robert Collins, Joanna Zarach, Mgmguy, Daragh Ward, Albert Wenger, Andrew Yang, Peter T Knight, Michael Finney, David Ihnen, Miki Phagan, Albert Daniel Brockman, Natalie Foster, Joe Ballou, Arjun , Christopher Wroth, S, Jocelyn Hockings, Mark Donovan, Capitalists for Shared Income, Jason Clark, Chuck Cordes, Mark Broadgate, Leslie Kausch, Braden Ferrin , Juro Antal, Austin Begin, Deanna McHugh, Nikolaus Rath,, Laura Ashby, and all my other patrons for their support.
