From the article: "And I think the only way to move forward in this is to galvanize it as one voice, not only in Hollywood and in this industry, but also in Congress."
Assume AI does pan out and widespread change is soon upon us, making a very significant percentage of labor unemployable. So one solution widely touted is universal basic income. Is that even possible? The US government prints money and then collects some of that money as taxes. Remove a large part of the taxes and it is just printing money. Maybe that works? I haven't seen any analysis, especially on the short term changeover. Maybe in the future only corporations and AI's will pay taxes and everybody else lives for free and starts a restaurant for extra cash? Congress today seems unlikely to pay to support people whose skills have become obsolete, but maybe if it happens to a lot of people at the same time...

Right now, the top of those groups include Intel[1], because they feel they did not quite get enough to re-shore. It annoys me, because I recognize it has to be done ( moving fabs to US ), but it does seem very.. opportunistic.
