JP Yim/Getty Images for The Asian American Foundation 2026-04-25T09:18:01.287Z Andrew Yang says AI could cause considerable inequality. He said a basic income policy will be "necessary" to address the issues. Yang floated a universal basic income during his 2020 presidential campaign.

Bernie Sanders, who instead suggested providing guaranteed federal jobs to address workforce automation. Lawmakers are divided on basic income. While some believe it could boost economic stability, others worry it could discourage Americans from working and be expensive to fund. Many leading Big Tech personalities have, on their end, advocated for basic income programs in response to AI's impact on employment.Tesla billionaire Elon Musk, a longtime advocate of basic income, recently said that a "universal high income" will be the "best way" to deal with AI-related unemployment."AI/robotics will produce goods & services far in excess of the increase in the money supply, so ...
