How much could an AI dividend pay?

Simulate how much each adult would receive if AI created extra wealth, the public sector captured a share and used part of it for direct payments.

Country

Beneficiary adult population

Taken from the country’s population and adult share. It is not a legal claimant count.

Hypothetical examples

These are not forecasts. They only set three assumption sets so you can explore the recalculation.

Additional wealth attributed to AI (% of GDP)3 %

In this scenario, the share of one year’s GDP treated as extra wealth created by AI.

Share obtained by the public sector30 %

The fraction of that extra wealth that would reach public coffers.

Share allocated to the dividend60 %

The fraction of that capture paid out as direct transfers to adults.
