AI COULD WIPE OUT MILLIONS OF WHITE-COLLAR JOBS. NOW BERNIE SANDERS, ELON MUSK, AND SAM ALTMAN ALL HAVE A PLAN FOR WHAT COMES NEXT
JPMorgan's Jamie Dimon, Citigroup's Jane Fraser, and the "godfather of AI" Geoffrey Hinton have all warned the technology could replace intellectual work, not just physical labor.
Here are the four proposals on the table, per Bloomberg:
AI dividends:
Citizens get a direct cut of the wealth AI creates. Bernie Sanders wants to give people an ownership stake in Anthropic, OpenAI and other AI giants through a sovereign wealth fund, modeled on the Alaska oil fund that still pays residents today. Trump has floated the government taking stakes in tech companies, saying on June 10 that "the public will become very rich."
Guaranteed basic income:
Monthly cash payments. A group called Fund for Guaranteed Income launched one of the first programs built for AI-displaced workers in March, paying around $1,000 a month plus job coaching. The Marshall Islands became the first country with a nationwide UBI program last year.
Universal high income:
Elon Musk's pitch since 2023. Not basic income, but enough to buy "whatever goods and services they want." He argues AI will grow output faster than the money supply, and that federal checks are the best way to handle AI-driven unemployment.
Basic compute:
Sam Altman has cooled on cash. He now backs "universal basic compute," where instead of dollars, everyone gets a slice of the AI's computing power to use, resell, or donate. In his words: "you own part of the productivity."
The common thread: figures who agree on almost nothing else all want the gains shared before a backlash arrives.
