Glossary of Terms *Note that the following definitions represent generally accepted interpretations of each term. However, differing interpretations are put forward by various sources, including in this annotated bibliography. Universal Basic Income: This model provides an unconditional uniform payment, often referred to as a “demogrant”, to either families or individuals regardless of income level. Depending on the model, this payment may or may not be tax-exempt. However, it is often thought that higher income earners would pay back their cash benefit through taxes on their earned income. In theory, a universal basic income model and a negative income tax model should lead to similar results. However, a universal basic income model will have higher up- front costs and possible difficulty recuperating benefits through taxation. Guaranteed Livable Income: A “Guaranteed Livable Income” (GLI) would be universally accessible but would not provide universal

  • The Future of Robotics an Inside View on Innovation in Robotics
    The Future of Robotics An Inside View on Innovation in Robotics FEATURE Robots, Humans and Work Executive Summary Robotics in the Startup Ecosystem The automation of production through three industrial revolutions has increased global output exponentially. Now, with machines increasingly aware and interconnected, Industry 4.0 is upon us. Leading the charge are fleets of autonomous robots. Built by major multinationals and increasingly by innovative VC-backed companies, these robots have already become established participants in many areas of the economy, from assembly lines to farms to restaurants. Investors, founders and policymakers are all still working to conceptualize a framework for these companies and their transformative Austin Badger technology. In this report, we take a data-driven approach to emerging topics in the industry, including business models, performance metrics, Director, Frontier Tech Practice and capitalization trends. Finally, we review leading theories of how automation affects the labor market, and provide quantitative evidence for and against them. It is our view that the social implications of this industry will be massive and will require a continual examination by those driving this technology forward.

  • Basic Income with High Open Innovation Dynamics: the Way to the Entrepreneurial State

Governments should move from a market-failure-oriented to a system-failure-oriented approach to understanding this problem, and transform to an entrepreneurial state to motivate the Schumpeterian dynamics of open innovation. We want to answer the following research question in this study: “How can a government enact policies to conquer the growth limits imposed on the economy by inequality or the control of big businesses?” First, we conducted a literature review to establish the concept of building a causal loop model of basic income with open innovation dynamics. Second, we built a causal loop model which includes basic income and all factors of open innovation dynamics. Third, we proved our causal loop model through a meta-analysis of global cases of basic income. Our research indicates that reflective basic income with permissionless open innovation, capital fluidity, a sharing economy, and a platform tax can motivate open innovation dynamics and arrive at a method by which an entrepreneurial state can conquer the growth limits of capitalism.

  • Renta Básica Universal
    Renta Básica Universal I. Introducción La situación de pobreza y pobreza extrema, la desigualdad en el nivel de ingresos, las crisis económicas, la transformación tecnológica y digital, así como el efecto de la globalización sobre el empleo, entre otros, están generando un debate sobre la implementación de una Renta Básica Universal -RBU- como mecanismo de protección social. Las redes de protección social son medidas para facilitar los cambios estructurales de la economía y hacerlos socialmente aceptables. La discusión pertinente es si el Estado, en su calidad de administrador de tales redes, debe incorporar dentro de sus políticas la implementación de una RBU, tomando en cuenta que los recursos son escasos y debiesen asignarse de una manera eficiente. Recientemente en Finlandia se ha puesto en marcha un proyecto que ha levantado la discusión sobre las ventajas de implementar una política de RBU. Tomando en cuenta que este tipo de modelos se está debatiendo en diversas partes del mundo, especialmente en Europa, se estima oportuno conocer algunos precedentes (tanto teóricos como experiencias), los conceptos de lo que se entiende por RBU, los argumentos a favor y en contra de su aplicación, así como una evaluación de lo que podría significar en el caso de Guatemala. II. Concepto y experiencias 1. Definición y características La Basic Income Earth Network -BIEN-1 define el concepto de RBU como un pago periódico en efectivo entregado incondicionalmente a todas las personas sobre una base individual, sin necesidad de medios o requisito de trabajo. La RBU no debe confundirse con los diversos subsidios condicionados existentes, propios del estado de bienestar, en los que la recepción de beneficios está condicionada a que se cumpla con los requisitos establecidos y cuya verificación la realiza el sector público.

  • The Citizen's Basic Income As an Instrument to Help the Transition to Democracy
    The Citizen’s Basic Income to Build Democracy and Justice Essay presented to NOPOOR Project in Paris, June 12 2012 1 Eduardo Matarazzo Suplicy It is an honor for me to be invited to participate in this Kick-off Meeting of the NOPOOR Project, organized by the Development Institutions & Mondialization, DIAL, and the Institut de Recherche pour le Development, IRD, in Paris June 11th to 13th. It is, undoubtedly, a very relevant opportunity to exchange ideas about the experiences of so many countries, in the five continents, about how we can raise the level of justice in our societies, with freedom, by democratic means, so as to live with a sense of solidarity and peace. As a Brazilian Senator, member of the Workers’ Party (Partido dos Trabalhadores), author of Law 10.835/2004, that institutes a Citizen’s Basic Income to all residents of Brazil, including those foreigners who have lived in Brazil for five years or more, no matter the origin, race, sex, age or socioeconomic condition, and also Co-President of Honor of the Basic Income Earth Network – BIEN – I am happy to bring you information about what is going on in my country, and about the development of this proposal in other parts of the world. According to the law, approved by consensus of all parties, in December 2002 in the Federal Senate, and in December 2003, in the Chamber of Deputies, and then sanctioned by President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva in January 8th, 2004, the Citizen’s Basic Income will be an annual monetary benefit, equal to all, sufficient to attend the basic needs of each person.

This article arises from my presentation at The Ohio State University Moritz College of Law’s symposium on Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Tax Law and Policy on March 22, 2019. I am grateful to Professor Stephanie Hoffer for inviting me to participate in the symposium, to Professor Orly Mazur, at Southern Methodist University, for her thoughtful comments on an earlier draft of this article, and to the participants in the symposium for their insights and suggestions. 2020] KOVACEV 183 I. Introduction Michele Wucker coined the phrase “gray rhino” to describe a “highly probable, high impact threat” that leaders “ought to see coming but nevertheless fail to recognize and react to in time.”1 The impact of the rise of artificial intelligence (“AI”), robotics, and automation on the tax system falls squarely within the definition of a gray rhino. Technological change promises major dislocations in the economy, including potentially massive displacement of human workers. At the same time, government revenues dependent on the taxation of human employment will diminish at the very time displaced workers will increasingly demand social services.

  • Wage Against the Machine
    JILLIAN JOHNSON Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers August 2019 WAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE: The Wealth and Power Inequality on the Automation of Labor Wage Against the Machine | 1 A major part of sustainability is social justice, here and everywhere. Think of it this way: justice is a technology. It’s like a software program that we use to cope with the world and get along with each other, and one of the most effective we have ever invented, because we are all in this together. When you realize that acting with justice and generosity turns out to be the most effective technology for dealing with other people, that’s a good thing.
