Taxing wealth amassed by AI could transform society into a near utopia

In a nearly fully automated economy, my hope is that the the wealth amassed by the machines is taxed heavily and redistributed in this way:

• UBI to meet the basic needs of every citizen.
• Infusion of cash for non-profit organizations to grow with conditions to have a majority human workforce.
• Grants for human entrepreneurs, artists and scientists to pursue their passions
• The creation of an Eco Corps - a government labor force (like the military) for humans to build a SolarPunk future by transitioning to green energy through infrastructure projects that would include installing and maintaining green energy technologies, planting trees, redeveloping urban areas to be more integrated with nature.
• Expanded Space Corps - A program that is geared more toward exploration than military power. Think Bobiverse: https://www.nibortech.com/blog/human-turned-ai-and-travels-space-a-bobiverse-book-series-review
• Frequent national and local competitions in athletics, arts, and sciences. Humans compete to win competitions with large cash prizes
• Added financial bonuses for continuing education and participation in local guilds, athletic clubs and volunteer organizations

This is the future we could have, one of purpose and passion, and many ways to build social cohesion among our communities and transform our cities and infrastructure into something vibrant and sustainable.

The question is whether we will choose to, or allow greed to keep humanity from enjoying the liberation afforded by the machines.
