  "Summary": "Will courts in the U.S. rule that firms cannot lay off workers on AI grounds, like China? No, not this extreme.  But we could very well see a tax levied on firms based on the efficiency gains made using AI and automation, returned to people via a universal basic income (UBI). The dynamics of AI and jobs is that we will see reduced employment as firms shed workers, but a corresponding increase in entrepreneurship as people use AI to create entirely new products and services. We see both happening already.",
