This Google Deep Mind + Oxford + Chicago Univ paper asks how governments should protect people if AI takes over a lot of jobs. Concludes that no single policy works in every scenario, because the ideas people like most, such as retraining, only help if AI keeps creating new jobs, otherwise it just reshuffles who gets the jobs left. The authors' answer is to expand unemployment benefits and the low-wage tax credit now, turn that credit into a guaranteed income floor if joblessness drags on, and give citizens stakes in a public investment fund if workers' share of the economy keeps falling.
