Artificial Intelligence Writes a Law for a fictional setting

Yes, energy is a value, but can be measured by a value, such as Joules or kWh, or whatever unit has this form:

Formula from Wolfram|Alpha: energy - Wolfram|Alpha

Yes, energy can be measured as the value of various properties and contexts of stuff in certain units.

Yes, energy can be measured as the value of various properties (states and contexts) of stuff in certain units.

Yep, that is true. Or in Planck units.

That is true, one of the first things we learned about in an economics class. But yeah, money will never become obsolete, until a breakthrough technology comes about. Even communal societies use money. The Star Trek replicators also use energy, and if energy is scarce, then kilowatt-hours will become a currency.

Money only changes form in time. But it's basically just wealth with the highest level of "liquidity".

What may become obsolete someday is how wealth is distributed -- which means more "free money" and more of the nation's wealth going to the poorest of society.

It's going to be vital in the face of widespread automation of the country to cope with widespread displacements of jobs in the near future. (I prefer NOT to use the term "AI" because no real "hard" AI exists yet)

Yeah, money used to be grains, then salt, then coins, paper, and now digital. If automation becomes a thing, free college to those displaced by automation should be mandatory.

Among the least corrupt nations in the world, many of them offer free college or at cheap cost (a small fraction of the cost of college education in the USA).

But if you're thinking of sending those who lost their jobs to the universities to get free science degrees (Engineering, IT, etc).

I'm telling you it's not going to be easy. The learning curve for some people no matter how hard they try to study, do their best is going to be very steep or outright impossible.

Not from a lack of faith but they're just born that way. Not all of us will end up good with numbers. Some meant for other great stuff that may no longer be needed in our planet at least in the near future. But things have a knack for not staying the same. A lot of things can still happen like the end of the civilization.

Not everyone is going to have the IQ for the science/tech courses. That's just reality. They'll just have to contribute other than crunching numbers or algo's in a fully automated society or else give them free money or they'll starve or steal. It's not their fault. It's a test from the Lord if those has been given much will give to those who has none and not just giving them scraps, but giving them decent lives the very least. A quality of life you yourself won't be displeased with.

Agreed. Once AI takes over a lot of jobs, we will need to move away from a monetary based society.
