Implement an AI Productivity Levy. Introduce a tax on the economic output of automated systems, initially set at 2% and rising to 5% as automation deepens. Revenue is hypothecated to the National AI Productivity Fund, which finances UBI, public services, and transition investment. [...] Transition to full UBI at flourishing level. As AI productivity gains mature and the National AI Productivity Fund grows, increase UBI to a “flourishing level” of £18,000–£24,000 per annum (in 2025 prices), sufficient not merely for subsistence but for a dignified life including housing, food, healthcare, education, culture, and leisure. [...] Establish a Constitutional Right to the AI Dividend. Enshrine in law the principle that the economic gains from AI and automation belong to the public and must be distributed equitably.
