As a form of foreign aid giving money directly probably works well. But idea that developing countries need basic income because of automation is just absurd.
If anything they need to get to work developing their country; those shacks are not going to be built by robots.
Fully developed countries on the other hand may face the situation where their country is so well run and have such a high level of automation and specialisation that there is too little work left for the population to be fully employed.
And thus they may lower their pension age, experiment with 30 hour work weeks, sabbaticals, maternity leaves, basic income and so on.
The countries that are closest to this are probably the Scandinavian countries. However at the moment they are all moving towards lower social transfers and higher pension age.
