TheTuringPost · x · 2026-07-14
Over 200 economists and AI experts jointly proposed the establishment of the "后必需品研究所".\n\nThe proposal aims to address the impending era of AI-driven material abundance, exploring how humans should find new meaning and social roles when AI can handle most survival-driven work. The institute will focus on testing public AI access, exploring new civic roles, and studying the social structures and psychological states of humanity once freed from the constraints of survival necessities.
