As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to advance, there are concerns that many jobs will become obsolete. This could lead to central governments becoming the primary distributors of wealth. However, this concentration of power could lead to corruption.

The Problem

As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to advance at a rapid pace, there are growing concerns about the impact this technology will have on the job market. Many jobs that are currently performed by humans are at risk of being automated, leading to widespread unemployment. This could have a profound effect on society, as people struggle to find work and support themselves.

In such a scenario, central governments may need to step in and become the primary distributors of wealth. This could involve implementing measures such as a universal basic income, where every citizen receives a regular payment from the government to cover their basic needs. This concentration of power in the hands of central governments could potentially lead to corruption and abuse of power.

Communist dictatorships are characterized by a single party or group having complete control over the government and economy. In such a system, the government has the power to control the distribution of wealth and resources. Suppose central governments become the primary wealth distributors in a society where AI and automation have led to widespread unemployment. In that case, they may be tempted to use this power to maintain societal control.

If measures are not put in place to prevent corruption and ensure transparency and accountability, there is a risk that central governments could become authoritarian and oppressive. It is essential to ensure that power is distributed fairly and transparently and that checks and balances are in place to prevent any group from gaining too much power.

Cryptocurrencies

Furthermore, the rise of cryptocurrencies has the potential to disrupt traditional financial systems and weaken the effectiveness of fiscal and monetary tools used by governments. Cryptocurrencies operate independently of central banks and governments, allowing people to conduct transactions without the need for intermediaries such as banks. This could make it more difficult for governments to regulate the flow of money and implement monetary policies.

Kingdom of Tech Giants

In addition, tech companies may act in parallel to governments on a global level. Many tech giants have a global reach and influence that extends beyond national borders. This could lead to competition between tech giants and governments in controlling media and people. For example, tech companies may use their platforms to disseminate information and shape public opinion, while governments may use traditional media outlets to do the same.

This competition between tech giants and governments could result in more chaos. It could lead to conflicting messages being disseminated to the public, making it difficult for people to know what information to trust. In addition, it could lead to a fragmentation of society as different groups align themselves with different sources of information.

The ultimate question

The question then becomes: how can we prevent governments from becoming communist dictatorships if they gain too much power over people and tech companies? What measures can be implemented to ensure that power is distributed fairly and transparently? How to prevent chaos, corruption, and misinformation? If there is one thing we learn from history is that technology will advance whether or not we are ready for it.
