Great point about the potential job displacement due to AI. While it's a pressing concern, I believe we should focus on reskilling the workforce rather than simply retraining. By equipping individuals with the skills needed to work alongside AI, we can create new job opportunities and enhance productivity. Additionally, we should consider implementing universal basic income to provide a safety net for those who may be displaced by automation.

What are your thoughts on the idea of a universal basic income as a solution to AI-induced job losses?
