Is there an artificial AI person-in-software yet? No. However, there's no denying advances such as Watson, self-driving cars, and Siri and the like. All part of a general trend of increasing information density in human artifacts. And increasingly becoming potent enough to wipe out the livelihoods of many people in a single stroke.
Queer... a department formed in the early 2000s has systems nearly 60 years old.
Of course, these are not DHS systems but those they inherited from other depts...
Is medical science at the point where smallpox can be synthesized from gene sequence data and organic molecules? If so, why not kill the batches and keep the data if you ever really need some?
And if synthesis isn't possible, why not?
I RTFA and didn't see anything about replacing human labor. It suggests the value to businesses as $127B. Business Insider, on the other hand, came up with the clickbait headline about replacing human labor with drones.
If everyone had an extra $1000 a month to spend, I could see prices simply increasing in proportion. For example, housing, which in the US is mostly bought and sold in a competitive market. If you and I have an extra $10,000 to bid on a house, guess what? The price of the house simply goes up, absorbing the UBI and negating its utility everywhere else. So housing becomes more expensive for a person with no other income, reducing the benefit of the UBI for food and other necessities.
Of course, it's better to have a real person at the other end of the line, or in the service window. But the experiences like ATT's robot tech-support answering service will become more the norm -- usually irritating, annoying, and frustrating, but "good enough".. and far cheaper than hiring people for the job. Shareholder value trumps customer service and employee morale.

Robots don't buy hamburgers.
It's a problem today, but in 20-50 years, solar-powered nanomachines will suck carbon from the air, creating cheap diamond bricks that could be used for building material.
WTF is this??

Our corporate worshipping culture as we know it today only started to form in the mid-1970s.
Uh, no. Big corp's were well-entrenched in the 40s and before.

Obviously Woz can afford a whizbang accountant. Maybe he pays 50 percent because he wants to...
So, once consumed, metabolized, excreted, grown in plants, and re-consumed, the drug molecules don't break down?
