🤖 We are told AI will boost productivity for everyone, but history tells a different story. Will the AI revolution create a post-scarcity utopia, or will it widen the gap between the 'Algorithm Owners' and the rest of us?

In this episode, we break down the economics of artificial intelligence—from job displacement in the Global South to the concentration of power in Silicon Valley.

🔬 We discuss:

- 📉 The Great Decoupling: Why higher productivity doesn't always mean higher wages.

- 🏢 Cognitive Rentierism: How owning the AI models creates a new class of elite.

- 🌍 The Global AI Divide: Will developing nations be left behind?

- 💡 Potential Solutions: Universal Basic Income (UBI) and Data Dignity.

Understanding begins with why.
