in one of his short stories AI supercomputers create a perfect centrally planned economy through their function to maximize economic efficiency and basically do a communism and nobody even realizes it because their material conditions get exponentially better
i love the optimistic outlook so much more than every redditorbro techie's takes, but this seems kinda naive given how easy it would be to just create an ai that's primary goal is "maximizing profit" and then ending human life indirectly by creating a living being that can only feel pleasure by obtaining money
that's where the age of his works shines through since his supercomputers were more hardware then software and had the immutable laws of robotics to govern them so it forced them to work around "do not harm x" which basically eliminated capitalism because of all the harming
