Episode 22 — AI Created the Wealth. Who Gets the Dividend?

What if artificial intelligence became so productive that it generated enormous new wealth? Who should benefit? In this episode of The Professor is Live!, Mark Salisbury and producer Rikko Smart explore a fascinating Associated Press story about the growing idea of an AI Dividend—a proposal that asks whether everyone should share in the wealth created by AI. Joined by economist Dr. Tyler Schipper from the University of St. Thomas, we move beyond the politics to explore a much bigger leadership question: What should we do if AI changes the relationship between work, prosperity, and purpose? Featuring our "Unclear on the Concept?" segment, a conversation with ChatGPT, audience discussion, and practical insights about leading in the age of AI. Join us for a thoughtful—and occasionally humorous—conversation about the future of work, human dignity, and leadership.
