How AI Concentrates Global Wealth

These documents analyze the intersection of artificial intelligence, automation, and economic stability. One primary focus is the viability of Universal Basic Income (UBI) as a policy to mitigate job displacement and provide a financial safety net in an automated economy. Other research explores the skill premium, suggesting that while robots threaten low-skill labor, AI may actually reduce wage inequality by substituting for high-skill tasks. However, the collection also warns of a "Digital Divide 2.0," arguing that AI could deepen disparities between wealthy and developing nations. Collectively, these sources offer a multidimensional view of how modern technology reshapes wealth distribution, labor markets, and global development.
