Social Security Trust Fund Depletion Predicted to Trigger AI-Powered 'Living Income' by 2035
In a stunning reversal of political gridlock, a bipartisan task force has announced a futuristic contingency plan for Social Security Trust Fund depletion, predicting that by 2035, the program's insolvency will be replaced by an AI-managed "Living Income" system. Under the plan, federal algorithms will auto-adjust benefits in real time based on economic output, climate data, and employment trends—eliminating the need for congressional intervention. Critics warn this could turn retirement into "digital serfdom," while proponents argue it's the only way to prevent generational poverty. The first prototype is set to launch in select counties by 2027.
