Why this question matters Greater productive capacity does not, by itself, explain how income, security or decision-making power are distributed. This Dispatch asks how the ownership of productive assets could shape that relationship.
Follow the evidence The connected research separates occupational exposure from job loss, and access to assets from meaningful control.
From labour to ownership — Research Thread 01 ↗ Key evidence / source context One in four workers globally is in an occupation with some generative-AI exposure. Exposure measures potential task transformation, not predicted job losses or a finding about the distribution of ownership.
International Labour Organization · 2025-05-20 ↗ Questions still open If most workers have pensions, are they already capital owners without thinking of themselves that way? If AI increases company productivity, who captures the gain? Can ownership realistically supplement declining labour income at scale? Research status In development · source review and argument-building.
