Although many of these are good, some are the opposite of progress.
School cellphone bans, for instance, are already known not to work, and are moral panic than anything actually helpful for kids. See: https://www.realclearinvestigations.com/articles/2025/05/06/sorry_wrong_numbers_early_stats_dont_support_school_cellphone_bans_1107975.html

Comment on What Could Go Right? AI Cannot Replace Humans by Emma Varvaloucas

In reply to Bill Boteler.

Hi Bill – thanks for your comment. I neither foresee AI causing mass unemployment of the kind that would necessitate a guaranteed income from the government, nor depriving us of meaningful work or activity in the way you describe (I think it’s more likely to worsen our already bad reliance on our devices and keep us away from other humans). I’ll write about everything you’re pointing out here in the future—thank you!

The progress network needs to talk more about the issues raised by title of this article.
A lot of us are terrified of a world without meaningful work and probably without decent salaries.
There are things I would do voluntarily just to make my life more meaningful- for example, I spend time volunteering of wildlife protection projects. I clean up plastic waste also. I am not paid for this.
Nevertheless, this means I live on a lower income than if I were spending the time on certain high paying jobs.
Unfortunately, AI can make even voluntary human work inefficient. Maybe that’s for the best as far as cleaning things up, or painting or performing music,etc.
But I also cannot imagine any kind of guaranteed income that would be decent.
How on earth do we decide who earns what in a political system where the rich would try to suppress the payments which would inevitably come from the government.
People need work to satisfy material needs and wants they thrive from things that challenge them to use their talents.
Nobody is dealing with these issues in any realistic policy dialogue.
We just fear the future.
