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.
The commercial robot would be put to use for you, and you would get a percent from it. The purpose is for you to “own” the Robot, specifically so certain people can’t complain about having their taxes/labor stolen.
You can’t get more in order to prevent corruption.
The personal use Robots are just there to do stuff for you, but you can’t use them to get money.
That sounds like an interesting novel or movie, but utterly impractical in the real world.
Entirely too easy to game, or imagine a scenario where several generations after it’s implementation, “high producing” robot jobs are inherited, creating a permanent upper class and a permanent lower class, because the only jobs that EVERYONE has access to are the jobs that will break your robot, and your bank.
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.
