At VivaTech 2024, Elon Musk forecasted a future in which artificial intelligence (AI) makes jobs obsolete. He sees a world with "universal high income" to enable this transition, which differs from universal basic income. Musk expressed concerns about emotional fulfillment in a job-free society and emphasized the importance of appropriate AI use, citing Ian Banks' "Culture Book Series" as a realistic depiction of an AI-driven future. He also encouraged parents to limit their children's social media use owing to AI's effect.
