The Human Society, uncompeted galactically, is today at the verge of yet another revolution. With Computers, Automation, NanoTech, 5G, AI & Space Stations to its credits, Nominal technology has moved in to Humanoid Robots. Humanoid Robots, in some ways, a reflection of frontier Human Innovation & Technological Ingenuity, are rapidly evolving in abilities that match & beat humans. Robots have turned essential to a globalised Nominal Economy that competes on basis Efficiency & Marginal Costs. Consequently, they are widely predicted to replace Humans and take over production lines & offices that constitute our Nominal economy. However, their integration in to Human Society is beset with many social & political issues that hold back their full participation in our societies & economies. The true potential of Humanoid Robots[1] is, however, evident in their potential to advantage the Nominal economy by populating the innumerable Exo planets that are uninhabitable to humans. They hence represent, a vexatious, two-edged, and pyrrhic answer to the expansion of the Human society in to the Galactic Next.

AltKuznets offers a two-pronged strategy for this two-edged crisis. Our first Strategy to resolve Humanoid-associated Employment Crisis presumes Mint ownership of Humanoid Robots, and offers two routes – issue of Private- or Group Humanoid Robot Ownership & Leasing Units in the impenured and sloughed Blue-collar Employee group. We conceive of Corporate Employers issuing virtual Private ownership of Humanoid Robot to select Blue-collared workers, even as the rest of their sloughed Employees & the Impenured Group are issued Group-Lease Units of ‘standard-complexity’ Humanoid Robots by the Mint-Precinct. This Private-Public group bids their Complexity-graded Robot Lease Units to Manufacturers thru the Intermediary-Aggregator. Such virtual Private- or Group ownership of Humanoid Robots obtains them a Mint-subtended return when the same is leased to Production facilities thru the Intermediary-Aggregator. The strategy is compatible with demand-driven, production-schedules that require pre-commitment & scheduling of Private- & Public-owned Robots. It obtains those bidding their Robot Lease units a DNM Next Future as well.

Should such issue of Humanoid Robot Ownership/Lease Units be impractical, we offer a Finance market-mediated resolution that co-opts the Mint in to issuing Humanoid Robot Innovation ETFs on the cumulate of AI Robotics Patents, Technologies & Applications. Our strategy transfers ownership of Humanoid Robots to Corporates in return for the Mint extracting a Pre-Return for the Sovereign, and which, for that reason, are issued to the target impacted group in their lesser ‘BTF’ form. These Rent-extracted BTFs obtain a lesser return to the target group when transacted in the market, thus offering a partial resolution to Robot-induced Employment crisis. We further suggest these anonymous Public BTFs could be upgraded in to Humanoid-specific Private ETFs that obtained by merging Public BTFs with specific, high-complexity Humanoid Robots (across Robot Manufacturers). Merged at the Mint Mirror, these Private ETFs would be owned by Wealth Funds and priced by the PE of Corporates that employed ETF-attached high-complexity Humanoid Robots. So design, we engender an incentive to upgrade Robots, and employ high-complexity Humanoid Robots in Manufacturing that add to Corporate PE. Our Robot ETF Strategy generates Innovation capital, and obtains a chain of pareto returns – first to the Mint, next the large Robot-impacted BTF-holding Group, and eventually, Wealth Fund Investors as well even as it facilitates a Humanoid Robot takeover of Manufacturing.

Our Strategy has other elements that are cognizant to the social issues caused by Automation, AI & Humanoid Robots. We formulate a Social Welfare Function/Sovereign Wealth Fund that is cognizant of longer run possibilities including the DNM, Robot, Space & Exo, and indicate how the same could be jointly optimized for GDP, and the pace of Robotization of the economy & society. We also suggest a Robot-targeting GST that increments with the complexity of Robots employed in production, thus obtaining an incremental ‘Tax Slice’ on Labor-substituting, Humanoid-aided Production. We conceive of Robot-Teams assigned specific tasks, thus permitting Team optimization conducive with Corporate Profits Optimization. We specifically add Human Unemployment as a Cost of Robot Exo Capital, thus inducing Robots to acknowledge the social impact of their introduction, and internalize the same in to their optimization. AltKuznets has also developed a Humanoid Robot-aided Personal Safety Strategy. Finally, we suggest an Next Exo Robot resolution that offers HR$ to Humanoid Robots to fund their Exo Next Life against their cumulated Work credits.

It intends to incorporate a firm toward implementing its multi-modular Strategy.
