In this episode of Unconventional Knowledge, GIS managing editor Andrew Kureth speaks with Vahan Roth, CEO of Swissgrams AG, about artificial intelligence, universal basic income and the future of work.

The discussion examines why AI has revived the debate over UBI, and why Roth remains skeptical that automation will create the abundance its supporters expect. He argues that finite resources, energy and capital still matter, even in an AI-driven economy.

The episode also explores the role of work beyond income, from structure and purpose to social connection, savings and investment. Roth warns that UBI could weaken these incentives and increase dependence on the state.

The conversation closes by looking at how governments may respond to AI disruption, with Roth arguing that deregulation, reskilling and entrepreneurship would be better answers than higher welfare spending or new AI taxes.

A skeptical look at whether universal basic income can solve AI disruption, or whether it ignores basic economic reality.
