Elon Musk boldly asserted in a recent podcast that in the future, people will no longer need to save for pensions because we will enter a phase of “UHI全民高收入” (Universal High Income for All).

Unlike government-issued money (UBI), UHI is based on AI and robots greatly increasing productivity, lowering costs, and reducing prices, thereby building a society with extremely abundant material wealth. In this world, basic needs such as housing, healthcare, and entertainment can be easily met, and traditional retirement pensions will become less important.

The podcast also pointed out that the real challenge lies in the next 3-7 years: humans’ instinctive resistance to drastic change will lead to a period of intense social upheaval and prosperity. Although the path to UHI is not yet clear, it may be a key concept on the way to the AI singularity era.
