What is Universal High Income (UHI)?
Universal High Income is a curated research board tracking the idea that advanced automation could eventually make it possible for people to receive a meaningful baseline income (or resources) without traditional work requirements.
This site focuses on evidence (pilots, evaluations, and outcomes), policy mechanics (how programs are designed and paid for), and real-world implementation (what worked, what didn’t, and why).
How this page is curated
- Primary sources first: evaluations, official reports, and data dashboards.
- Balanced viewpoints: pro and skeptical analysis—no single narrative.
- Signal over noise: fewer links, better links; updated as new research drops.
Today’s brief
Today: This page is a running index of high-signal material on guaranteed income, basic income, and the policy mechanics behind them. The headline above is the starting point; the columns below organize dashboards, evaluations, and critiques.
What to watch next: More pilots are publishing 12–24 month outcome reports. When a new evaluation drops, we add it and summarize the key findings in plain English.
Worth reading: Something Big Is Happening — a short essay framing why rapid technological change may feel discontinuous.
Note: This is a link-based research index. The short explanations above (and future daily briefs) are the on-page publisher content that provides context for the sources.
