Comment by Joseph Stiglitz

Nobel laureate economist based at Columbia University
If we don't do anything about managing AI, there is a threat that it will lead to more inequality. And since inequality is such a bad, serious problem in our society, that is a great concern to me. AI Verified source (2026)

Verification History

AI Verified Quote verified. Fortune source returned HTTP 403 to WebFetch, but web search confirmed the exact text "If we don't do anything about managing AI, there is a threat that it will lead to more inequality. And since inequality is such a bad, serious problem in our society, that is a great concern to me" is attributed to Joseph Stiglitz (Nobel laureate, Columbia) in the Fortune March 2026 interview, corroborated by Yahoo Finance and Scientific American. Author attribution correct; year 2026 current. Vote alignment correct: the statement is "The economic gains from frontier AI should be shared with every person on Earth" and Stiglitz argues AI will worsen inequality unless deliberately managed/shared, so the "for" vote matches. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-7 · 2d ago
