Abstract

This article examines the potential impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on the social structure of societies in the most economically developed countries of the world. Despite the fact that at present the notion of “artificial intelligence” is quite controversial, artificial intelligence is already widely used in various sectors of the economy, state and municipal administration, and the social sphere. Experts expect the international artificial intelligence trading to show very strong growth momentum in the coming years, with generative artificial intelligence receiving special attention. This is a type of AI that is capable of creating intellectual products similar to the results of human creativity. The use of artificial intelligence makes various production, logistics, and management processes more efficient and cheaper. For a long time, it was believed that current information and communication technologies would not be able to remove people from the sphere of creative and highly skilled labour. However, the development of generative artificial intelligence largely refutes this statement. This has already led to people losing their jobs and social status in the most developed countries in the world. In this context, it is necessary to establish mechanisms that allow people to live with dignity. One of them could be a universal basic income.
