TOOL · SIMULATION

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.

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.

3 %

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

30 %

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

60 %

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

Hypothetical simulation, not an economic forecast or an approved proposal. It does not claim AI will produce that wealth or that the state will capture those shares.
