I'm by no means an economist nor do I pretend I have the answers to the questions. But my initial view of UBI is to ensure that people can afford their basic necessities. I've heard plenty of ways to which UBI could be funded - including taxation against the robots and AIs that take on the labour that used to be done. Is that practical in the short term? Probably not, but the whole article is about thinking about and planning for these future scenarios. I don't know what the answer to UBI funding is, but that's sorta the problem in the first place. We haven't planned enough for that world.
