Alaska's Permanent Fund provides an example of how residents can share in the wealth generated by natural resources. Each year, eligible Alaskans receive a dividend funded by investment earnings from the state's oil revenues. This October, residents will receive $1,200 each.
Alaska's model raises an important question: Could Americans benefit from AI-generated wealth in a similar way? An AI Dividend Trust Fund could apply the principle of shared prosperity to the nation's growing AI economy.
