For years I've been thinking on and off about UBI (universal basic income). Lately I've been pondering the replacement of workers with automation. Particularly AI (dubious though it is, lately)

And i think I've come up with a new term: UBAI: universal basic automation income.

What is it? It's an amount of money every person of age gets paid every month. It comes from a tax levied on heavy automation that replaces people with skills.

It does not have to be 1:1, details would have to...
