The worst part so far out of all this is all of the best AI out there can't profit share. They are deemed research projects and non-profits to avoid bias but something has to be done.

The people making them are getting rich with cash infusions and investors in the billions. Yet, these companies can't be invested in by the average person and no public company truly owns them. So they are able to wipe out millions of jobs and those people can't cover themselves by investing in their replacement. Only the select few and very fortunate will monetarily benefit off AI as it grows. The only way to make money off AI on the outside is to use it for a business or wait for UBI, probably years later than it will be needed.

It's the dawn of a new paradigm like the internet, and you can't invest in anything to ride the wave. Yet these projects and non-profits will 10 to 50x in a decade and none of that productivity boon will be shared with the public. This will only lead to truly destitute economic situations because nothing is in place to mitigate the fallout of lost and obsolete human labor. What we do in the next 5 years, legislatively and technologically, will dramatically affect the next several decades.
