Globalization,Artificial Intelligence and Inequality:Discussion of Universal Basic Income Policy Towards Common Prosperity
It is a global challenge to actively yet prudently solve the problem of social inequality and promote social progress.The progress of artificial intelligence and global mass production will bring competition between machines and people,and make workers'wages compete on a global scale.This makes the wages of workers maintain at a level that can only make ends meet in both short and long term dimensions.The working class,therefore,falls into a state of "paradoxical poverty".The deepening and solidification of inequality brought by artificial intelligence and globalization will lead to the disappearance of social mobility,which may seriously affect social and economic stability.Universal Basic Income(UBI)has attracted much attention as a policy tool to deal with increasing inequality,and mass unemployment and long-term low wages that may be caused by artificial intelligence.In developed countries,it is regarded as a policy tool to rise to the challenge in terms of employment structure caused by artificial intelligent technology and improve the existing social welfare system,and in some developing countries,it is regarded as a gradual poverty reduction policy.Relative poverty governance becomes the main challenge to the common prosperity in China at present.It is necessary to advocate a gradual working schedule to establish a UBI system in China,to reduce social inequality and share the fruits of development with all people.Besides,the implementation of the UBI project could contribute the"Chinese experience" to the relevant international progress,and further promote the Sinicization of Marxism.
