If I could have it my way, #productivity & #efficiency gains from #AI would pay for the #work that falls through the cracks:

* Support for #eldercare, family care.

* Relief of pressure on the #health system through reduced workloads, patient throughput, administrative overhead and wellness support. Enhanced social supports to prevent chronic health issues.

Last year NYC's Human Resources Administration (specifically, Adult Protective Services) took over receiving Uncle's monthly Social Security checks, paying his rent out of that income, and then sending Uncle the remainder via paper checks (direct deposit not offered as an option *sigh*).
