Mapping Possible Futures: The AI effect

Will AI be a net liberator or a silent destroyer?

We're kind of standing at this weird moment, right? AI is about to shake things up in the economy, like, way more than anything we've seen before. It's not just a new gadget; it's a whole new way of doing stuff.

So, what's that going to look like? This is about thinking through the different paths we could take as AI changes how we work, make things, and share the wealth. If we get our heads around these possibilities, maybe we can make better choices – whether we're running a business, making laws, or just trying to figure out our own lives.

It's not a question of *if* AI changes things, it's *how*. Take a look at these scenarios and let's try to wrap our minds around what might happen and what we can do about it.

The choice isn't just economic—it's philosophical. What do we want work, wealth, and human purpose to look like in an AI-powered world?
