Transformative Capacity

Direct ownership stakes in AI infrastructure and the broader economy distributed to all citizens, so that returns from automated production flow widely rather than concentrating among existing capital owners.

State-owned investment vehicles that strategically invest in domestic AI infrastructure and "upstream" supply chains to secure national competitiveness ("sovereign AI") and capture long-term financial returns for the public treasury.

Voluntary, ex-ante commitments by AI firms to donate a substantial portion of future profits if they exceed a high threshold, to ensure that extreme economic gains are broadly shared rather than concentrated.

Guaranteed free or heavily subsidized access to essential services, from healthcare and education to housing and digital connectivity, decoupled from employment status.

Public ownership stakes in AI infrastructure and companies, distributing the resulting profits as direct cash payments to all citizens.

Legal recognition of AI systems as taxable entities capable of bearing financial obligations, creating mechanisms to capture AI-generated wealth directly.

Reserved board seats at AI companies for workers and public interest representatives, giving those affected by corporate decisions a formal governance voice.

Structured collaborations between government and private AI companies to co-finance and co-develop AI infrastructure under shared governance, while maintaining public interest oversight.

International frameworks that distribute economic gains from transformative AI to low- and middle-income countries lacking resources to develop frontier systems independently.

International mechanisms funded through equity stakes, taxation, and/or voluntary commitments, that distribute AI-generated surplus as direct payments to individuals worldwide.
