  In the face of shifting means of production from manual human labor to labor
automation, one solution that stands out is the advancement of a Universal
Basic Income, UBI to every citizen from the government with no strings
attached. The proposal, however, has encountered sharp criticism from different
quarters questioning the morality behind sourcing of funds, largely through
taxation, to uphold an institution designed to provide social support. Others
also perceive the idea as a form of socialism, or a capitalist road to
communism. The current discussion, however, seeks to demonstrate that the
provision of such stipend can occur through the utilization of revenues
realized from production driven by Artificial Intelligence (AI), and to a small
extent, philanthropic contributions from the top 1 percent of the population.
