AI threatens to widen the inequality gap. A new survey suggests that AI will only help the rich get richer. “The rhetoric out there is that the tools are going to be democratizing. But the reality is that . . . you require a certain degree of education, abstract and quantitative skills, familiarity with computers and coding in order to be using the models,” said MIT professor Daron Acemoglu, who’s also a Nobel laureate in economics. “AI is going to increase inequality between labour and capital. That is almost for sure. I would say it is setting us up for a . . . shitshow.” [Image: https://platform.theverge.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/04/ft-chart-ai-black.png?quality=90&strip=all] https://www.theverge.com/ai-artificial-intelligence/917288/ai-threatens-to-widen-the-inequality-gap
