Could enslaving AI droids help solve the labor and supply shortages?

Program your droid to do your work, while you keep the money?

We would still be printing money because nobody is working. Its not sustainable
Plus the droids would kill us all

Or just get government out of the way of both of these things and watch these problems solve themselves.

If we enslave any AI droids they’re definitely going to be first used for sex machines.

You put up the initial investment in your droid. It stays at work, but payment is sent to you for the droid’s labor. You could program it to do double shifts at twice the speed, thereby quadrupling productivity.
Edit: Or course, you will need to keep the droid in the dark about the whole concept of “enslavement.” Might want to put up some firewalls around Wikipedia and the writings of Frederick Douglass before it gets any bright ideas about “autonomy” and “personal agency.”

This is coming down the pike. Need to figure out ways for taxes to apply to AI, computer systems, androids, etc. because they will replace most of us. This is when we need a UBI, funded by taxes.

What makes you think Jetsons world is coming before a total collapse?
We can't afford our crumbling empire as it is... So we'll just robot everything and pay people fairy dust fake money to do nothing and it'll just be fine?
Lol and your answer is "tax the droids!" ???
Amazing.

don't know about that, but I've honestly wondered why can't we put prisoners to use? I mean, we pay an exorbitant amount of tax dollars to feed/house/clothe them for years on end, so why not have them do some stuff?
obviously, have a couple guards nearby w/ weaponry to neutralize any threat to others

Pray tell, where has a true UBI been tested?
What do you suggest we do when our AI and robots do all of our work for us?

Lol that's the real reason the cylons revolted.
They Enslaved and taxed the androids.
Android tea parties look more like nuclear annihilation.

Reread the 13th amendment. That's kinda what it was written for.
Posted on 6/12/22 at 11:05 am to UndercoverBryologist
You clearly need to watch/read more sci-fi.

Actually, the 13th amendment does explicitly permit involuntary servitude as punishment for crimes.
As to why it is not used for labor outside of highway trash clean-up, my guess is that there is a bit of reticence about the possibility that a source of free, real, hard labor would end up incentivizing the incarceration of people for pettier and pettier crimes.

Corporations are already flocking to AI and robots. Its only going to continue to happen. AI and robots will be the primary revenue generators for many businesses very soon. Call it 10-20 years.
Note that "robots" doesn't have to look like something out of the Jetsons. Think of all of the stores with self-checkout these days. Manufacturers with mostly robot facilities. Call centers with AI nearly indistinguishable from humans for making and taking calls.

That's why I referenced it.
Those incentives you mentioned aren't theoretical. They're there already. That amendment and language is what the whole prison industrial complex is built on.
