AI 'Violet' arrives in 2029, displacing 80% of jobs by 2033

A speculative narrative outlines the development of an advanced AI named Violet by a company called Alder in January 2029. Violet's capabilities represent a significant leap, surpassing human intellect in many areas and largely eliminating the weaknesses of previous models. Alder initially kept Violet secret, negotiating with US government agencies for a controlled rollout, which began with pilot programs automating government jobs and providing generous pensions to displaced workers. This led to increased productivity and innovation within government sectors, eventually expanding to the private sector with regulations ensuring severance for displaced employees, creating a de facto universal basic income.
