State AI Citizen Dividend

Governments can institute a regular 'citizen dividend' funded by taxes or mandated profit‑sharing on AI‑driven corporate gains, returning a portion of concentrated AI rents to households. The model is being floated in South Korea after union pressure and precedents of chipmakers allocating operating‑profit bonuses to workers. — If adopted, such dividends would reframe debates about who benefits from AI, influence tax and corporate governance policy, and provide a template for distributing automation rents across advanced economies.
