- I'm not sure if you're familiar with Andrew Yang?

- So there's a candidate for President of the United States

in part around job loss due to automation

of universal basic income to support jobs that are,

folks who lose their job due to automation.

So what are your thoughts about his concerns,

him as a candidate, his ideas in general?

- I think his thinking is generally in the right direction,

but his approach as a presidential candidate

The unemployment numbers are not very high yet

and I think he and I have the same challenge.

If I want to theoretically convince people this is an issue

people have to see how can this be the case

I do agree with him on the displacement issue.

not by just giving a monthly $2,000 check, or $1,000 check

because they don't have the know how to know what to retrain

and guidance is needed, and retraining is needed,

because historically in technology revolutions

where routine jobs were displaced, new routine jobs came up,

but with AI and automation the whole point

and AI will create jobs, but it won't create routine jobs,

So therefore, the people who are losing the jobs

The jobs that are becoming available are non routine jobs

so these the social stipend needs to be put in place

is for the routine workers who lost their jobs

to be retrained and then take on the job that will last
