AI and the Welfare State: What Happens When the Intergenerational Contract Breaks?
About this episode
Your parents paid for your grandparents' retirement. You're paying for your parents'. But will your kids be paying for yours? In this episode, Cat and Graça examine a structural disconnect: while tech companies plan infrastructure investments for AI deployment, there's minimal parallel discussion about how AI-driven labor market changes will affect the intergenerational contracts that welfare states depend on. The choice we make now is between anticipating structural shifts or hoping the next generation figures it out.
