Who Gets the AI Dividend?
When machines make work faster, who gets the money, time, and power?
This proposed book would follow a deceptively simple question through the workplace: if AI helps you produce more, what should change in return? It would examine wages, workload, ownership, bargaining, and the difference between saving time and being assigned more work. Readers would get a practical framework for documenting contributions, discussing new responsibilities, and evaluating workplace promises, alongside a clear account of the institutions that influence how productivity gains are shared.

The idea behind the book +
The ILO's May 2025 task-level study identifies substantial occupational exposure to generative AI while describing job transformation as more likely than wholesale replacement. That makes the distribution of changing work and its rewards a useful question to examine now.
