AI Could Create Massive Wealth. But Who Gets It? | Alistair Mukhtar

What happens when machines become capable of producing enormous amounts of wealth? And who gets to benefit from it?In this episode, I sit down with Alistair Mukhtar, author of The AI Dividend: Reclaiming Prosperity in the Age of Machines, to explore one of the biggest economic questions of the AI era: if machines do more of the work, what happens to the relationship between work, income, and prosperity?Alistair argues that AI could give humanity an opportunity to work less, retire earlier, and share more broadly in the wealth created by intelligent machines. We discuss his proposals for a four-day workweek, retirement at 55, shorter university degrees, automation taxes, universal basic income, and a new economic system designed around shared prosperity.But there's a harder question underneath it all: if AI companies own the machines creating the wealth, how do ordinary people become owners of that prosperity rather than simply consumers of it?This conversation challenges some of our assumptions about work, wealth, inequality, and what the future of an AI-powered economy could actually look like.Learn more about Alistair Mukhtar and The AI Dividend:https://theaidividend.org
