      Yep, UBI would solve a lot of social issues currently, including the whole scare about AI putting people out of work.

      Not sure what you mean about work robot ownership, care to elaborate?

        Robot is assined by the government to work for you. You get one, but you can have others for non-commercial purposes.

        Prevents monopolies and other issues that would lead to everyone getting robbed and left to die.

          I don’t see how that would be practical in any shape or form with society as it exists today, TBH. You’re suggesting limitations on what normal people can own, based on the stated purpose of the asset. That’s going to be impossible to enforce. Why are we even getting one ‘commercial’ robot assigned to us? The average joe isn’t going to be able to make use of it effectively. Just tax the robots and make sure everybody has UBI.
