It is not a social policy, but a mechanism of control and stabilization in a hyper-automated economy where human labor ceases to be the core of production. AI is both the culprit and the engine of technocratic promises that will reshape humanity. You will not work, because you will not be able to, and you will be happy. The official narrative promises freedom: with a guaranteed income, each person could devote themselves to learning, creating or building projects. But beneath that promise lies the structural design of a system where machines generate value and the State, aligned with technological corporations, administers its distribution. UBI also operates as an instrument of algorithmic governance. With mandatory digital identities, programmable accounts, and continuous monitoring, income can become a tool of reward or punishment depending on citizen behavior. The technocratic argument is simple: if humans are no longer necessary for production, they must be maintained, managed, and contained. Basic income resolves social tension while ensuring political stability. However, the risk is clear. UBI could become the entry point to a deeply centralized model in which economic survival depends on compliance. A future where the State not only provides income but defines the limits of individual autonomy. In this image, you see a fragment from an article published in 'The Technocrats' Magazine' in 1933, showing how a universal income was already being proposed long before it had its current name. The key question is not whether UBI will exist, but under what conditions and who will set its rules. Source: https://archive.org/details/the-technocrats-magazine-1933_202011/mode/2up
