Do you know any institutions/nonprofits/companies/governments/etc. trying to apply deep learning and other ML/AI/GenAI techniques to implement universal basic income (UBI) or something similar to UBI like universal basic services? Maybe for chatbot guidance on UBI program details, selecting candidates that need it the most, predicting poverty, UBI impacts, demographic and economic indicators to identify optimal UBI payment amounts and frequencies for different population segments, preventing fraud, etc. It can be just sketching future models in theory, or already implementing it in practice. I found this relevant paper: Can Data and Machine Learning Change the Future of Basic Income Models? A Bayesian Belief Networks Approach. https://www.mdpi.com/2306-5729/9/2/18 “Appeals to governments for implementing basic income are contemporary. The theoretical backgrounds of the basic income notion only prescribe transferring equal amounts to individuals irrespective of their specific attributes. However, the most recent basic income initiatives all around the world are attached to certain rules with regard to the attributes of the households. This approach is facing significant challenges to appropriately recognize vulnerable groups. A possible alternative for setting rules with regard to the welfare attributes of the households is to employ artificial intelligence algorithms that can process unprecedented amounts of data. Can integrating machine learning change the future of basic income by predicting households vulnerable to future poverty? In this paper, we utilize multidimensional and longitudinal welfare data comprising one and a half million individuals’ data and a Bayesian beliefs network approach to examine the feasibility of predicting households’ vulnerability to future poverty based on the existing households’ welfare attributes.” submitted by /u/Happysedits [link] [comments]
