## Abstract

> This paper introduces Adaptive Basic Income (AuBI), a novel framework that integrates artificial intelligence and decentralized infrastructure to enhance the effectiveness and adaptability of Universal Basic Income (UBI) systems. It proposes a systems engineering toolkit for modeling and deploying next-generation economic frameworks that leverage real-time learning and decentralized governance.

## Keywords

`AuBI` · `augmented intelligence` · `biological intelligence` · `Active Inference` · `cognitive augmentation` · `human-AI interaction`

## Key Contributions

- Introduces the concept of Adaptive Basic Income (AuBI) as a dynamic alternative to traditional UBI.
- Proposes a systems engineering toolkit for specifying and modeling economic systems.
- Explores the integration of AI and decentralized technologies to improve UBI implementation.
- Encourages experimentation and collaboration among policymakers and researchers.

## Methods

- Utilizes active inference theory to inform economic modeling.
- Employs decentralized ledger technologies for transparent and tamper-proof infrastructure.
- Incorporates predictive analytics to refine UBI interventions based on real-time data.
- Adopts a B2B2C model to facilitate the deployment of AuBI systems through various stakeholders.
