Automation has been a major talking point in the ownership economy since the industrial revolution. Today we’re facing a new automation revolution as both informational automation with AI bots, and physical automation with androids. In the ownership economy these are a risk for people who depend on labor to provide an income, which is everyone.
Within the Equitable Reality, this problem goes away entirely. The Equity Contract guarantees your right to equitably access your needs. The labor your obligated to perform is the same as everyone else. If a labor position has been automated, that reduces the demand of labor for the whole community. People can be repositioned to different labor positions, or the community can reject automation and desire manual labor.
You can categorize labor based on desirability. To the individual this can vary from person to person and labor to labor, as a community some jobs will be more desirable than others on average. Using the Personal Transition Report, we can take census on what labor is desirable or not. Labor with the least desirability can be prioritized for automation.
Desirable labor can still benefit from automation, there are still undesirable tasks within a desirable position, thus reducing the labor demand for even more positions, reducing the CLO for the community. When you prioritize equity over ownership, automation becomes a benefit for the community not another competitor to stop people from earning money.
