빅테크 거물들의 기본소득 실험...AI 시대의 안전망?

Silicon Valley-led basic income experiments have gained attention, but political consensus is fracturing. The results of the 'Unconditional Income Study', led by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, are set to be released, providing data on basic income potentially needed in the AI era. While several pilot programs have proven the effectiveness of basic income, some are calling for larger-scale implementations. Tech companies support basic income as a safeguard against job losses due to AI, but their actions remain limited. Some experts argue that Silicon Valley should use its influence to lobby for federal-level basic income implementation. However, concerns are raised that the tech industry's support for basic income might be fleeting.

실리콘밸리가 주도한 기본소득 실험이 주목을 받고 있지만, 정치적 합의는 깨지고 있다. 오픈AI의 CEO 샘 올트먼이 주도한 '무조건적 소득 연구'의 결과가 곧 발표될 예정이며, 이는 AI 시대에 필요할 수 있는 기본소득에 대한 데이터를 제공할 것이다. 여러 파일럿 프로그램들이 기본소득의 효과를 입증했지만, 일부에서는 더 광범위한 규모의 프로그램 구축을 요구하고 있다. 빅테크 기업들이 AI로 인한 일자리 손실에 대비해 기본소득을 지지하지만, 실제 행동은 제한적이다. 일부 전문가들은 실리콘밸리가 권력을 이용해 연방정부 차원의 기본소득 도입을 로비해야 한다고 주장한다. 그러나 기본소득에 대한 기술 산업의 지지가 일시적일 수 있다는 우려도 제기되고 있다.

Is It Silicon Valley’s Job to Make Guaranteed Income a Reality?

X, AI 훈련용 데이터 제공 허용하는 개인정보 정책 변경

Social media platform X has announced changes to its privacy policy that will allow it to provide user data to third parties for AI model training purposes. The policy, set to take effect on November 15, 2024, is expected to pave the way for external companies to purchase X's data in the form of licenses. The new policy introduces a "third-party collaborators" section, but the specific methods for users to opt out of data sharing remain unclear. This move is seen as a potential new revenue stream for X, which has experienced a decline in advertising revenue. Meanwhile, X has also strengthened penalties for 'scraping', the unauthorized collection of large numbers of tweets. The company has decided to impose a fine of $15,000 for accessing more than one million posts per day. X's owner, Elon Musk, has maintained a tough stance on scraping, and this policy change appears to reflect his attitude.
