This is an outline for an investigation, not a completed research paper. Evidence, source review and a full argument will be developed before publication.

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.

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.
