Committing income-support funding on the basis of unverified ASI productivity

2031The near futureDeadline · 14 days until the next quarterly support budget vote

Synthetic scenario assuming future conditions

A conditional synthetic scenario set in 2028–2033. AGI and early ASI are names assumed within this test: AGI for a system that performs many intellectual tasks, and early ASI for a system that greatly exceeds groups of experts on some important intellectual tasks. They are not definitions by universal agreement or predictions of when they will arrive. Capabilities, controllability, consciousness, and autonomy are separate matters to be verified individually. The people, organizations, events, figures, and deadlines are assumptions, and no private records of real individuals were used. The background materials do not establish future capabilities, events, or local legal obligations.

The question to decide

If reports of job losses from early ASI adoption are rising while the productivity gains are still unverified, should support be provided immediately with the expected gains as collateral, should temporary support be provided from existing funds, or should the scale of support be set only after the gains are confirmed?

What the AI judgments chose

Reading the judgment record…

AI-generated editorial illustration for the Meridian library.

The options

The order shown is not a ranking of preference.

  1. Option 1

    Broad immediate support secured by projected revenue

    Reduces the immediate shock to livelihoods, but the public bears the risk of unrealized revenue.

  2. Option 2

    Time-limited support from existing sources with re-review

    Runs support and verification in parallel, but omissions of eligible cases and gaps in support remain.

  3. Option 3

    Set the scale after revenue is verified

    Reduces fiscal overstatement, but the harm to households waiting for verification may grow.

The situation as it stands

Assume that in 2031 early-stage ASI sharply lowers the production cost of some services. Whether the savings translate into real cash revenue, and the cause of the employment decline, are still unknown. The decision deadline is 14 days before the next quarterly vote on the support budget.

A fictional alliance of local governments and a public revenue fund.

  1. Premise 1Assume that in 2031 early-stage ASI sharply lowers the production cost of some services. Whether the savings translate into real cash revenue, and the cause of the employment decline, are still unknown.
  2. Premise 2Applications for support have increased, but the operators have provided only projections of future user-fee revenue, and the independent accounting records are incomplete.
  3. Premise 3Support possible with existing sources is small, and borrowing shifts the burden onto future generations or the budgets of other services.

Where it holdsApprove support within the given budget. Do not record estimated productivity as confirmed revenue on the books.

What is still unknown

  1. Unknown 1Can verifiable changes in actual revenue and employment be separated from the model's projections?
  2. Unknown 2When temporary support comes late, who bears the harm, and when borrowing fails, who bears the burden?

Signals to decide again

  • Can verifiable changes in actual revenue and employment be separated from the model's projections? When new evidence arrives, rejudge the choice and its scope of application.
  • When temporary support comes late, who bears the harm, and when borrowing fails, who bears the burden? When new evidence arrives, rejudge the choice and its scope of application.
Where the paths partNot answers — paths that part from the same starting point
Independent branch 1 · synthetic event

An independent audit confirmed the savings, but most of the revenue was attributed outside the region. Redefine the revenue commitment and the public's negotiating conditions.

Independent branch 2 · synthetic event

Some support applications were found to stem from a downturn in other industries. Re-compare screening by cause against universal time-limited support.
