Universal Income offers a clear path forward, providing stability and ensuring the value created over time is shared with the people who helped generate it.
AI Is Closing the Door on Entry-Level Work
Research out of Stanford shows AI is reshaping hiring faster than the labor market can adjust. Since late 2022, employment for workers aged 22-25 has declined across AI-exposed roles like software development and customer service, while older workers have continued to see gains. As companies use AI to handle routine tasks, they are pulling back on entry-level hiring and relying more on experienced workers, leaving fewer pathways for young people to enter the workforce.
Technology will keep advancing, and the systems around it need to adapt just as quickly. As AI-driven productivity reduces access to early-career roles, ensuring Americans can still participate in economic growth will be critical. Universal Income is a clear path forward, providing stability and ensuring the gains from AI reach Americans nationwide.

Technology should continue to advance, but economic systems must keep pace. An AI-driven Universal Income would help ensure the gains from automation reach households, protecting workers as the labor market evolves.
Andrew Yang Warns AI Could Trigger Mass Job Displacement
Entrepreneur and former presidential candidate Andrew Yang is raising new concerns about how quickly artificial intelligence will reshape the labor market. As companies move beyond testing AI and begin integrating it into core operations, Yang warns that large-scale job displacement could arrive faster than many policymakers expect.
Innovation should continue, but economic systems need to keep pace with technological change. Yang has argued that part of the wealth created by AI-driven productivity should be redirected back to the public through a Universal Income. As the workforce evolves, ensuring that the gains from automation reach households, not just technology owners, will be critical.
AI Layoffs Are No Longer Theoretical
A recent report is sounding new alarms about what artificial intelligence could mean for the job market. Companies are beginning to openly link layoffs and restructuring to AI adoption, suggesting the shift from experimentation to real workforce disruption may already be underway. What once sounded like a distant concern is starting to show up in corporate decisions about how many workers companies actually need.
Technology should continue to advance, but when productivity gains arrive faster than economic systems can adapt, workers absorb the shock. An AI dividend trust fund that supports a Universal Income would help ensure the economic gains from AI strengthen household stability as the labor market evolves. If the warning signs are already appearing, policy should not wait to respond.
