## Resource

This and all episodes at: https://aiandyou.net/ . What is AI doing and going to do to job opportunities? What does it mean to have enough, and who has too little, and what’s fair? One answer to that is to look at inequality; how different are the financial circumstances of one set of people compared to another? I continue talking with Jeremy Ney, Adjunct Professor at Columbia Business School and author of an upcoming book about opportunity and inequality in America. He writes the American Inequality newsletter and was previously a macroeconomic policymaker at the Federal Reserve. His work on regional divides and economic mobility has appeared in TIME Magazine, Business Insider, BBC, NPR, PBS, and on the TED stage. In our conclusion, we talk about Universal Basic Income, taxes and other systems of wealth redistribution, whether AI should be treated as a public utility, AI and redlining, AI causing cognitive inequalities in education, and where we should be looking to for change. All this plus our usual look at today's AI headlines! Transcript and URLs referenced at HumanCusp Blog.
