A nonprofit program called the AI Dividend is sending basic income payments to individuals negatively impacted by AI. The small program involves between 25 and 50 people receiving $1,000 per month. This move comes amidst concerns about AI-related layoffs and the potential impact of AI on jobs. The idea of an "AI dividend" may offend some AI critics, particularly OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, who supports the idea of universal basic income (UBI) as a remedy for potential societal damage caused by the proliferation of AI.
