At its core, the AI Dividend is simple: if AI dramatically increases productivity and concentrates wealth, the American people have a stake in those gains. [...] It's a way to ensure that if AI transforms the economy, it strengthens the country, not just the balance sheets of a few companies.

Verification History
AI Verified
Verified via web search (Axios article returned HTTP 403 on direct fetch). Multiple sources (Axios, Cointelegraph, Slashdot, Bores' own policy PDF) confirm Alex Bores (NY State Assemblymember / Congressional candidate) proposed the "AI Dividend" plan on 2026-04-20, with the exact framing "if AI dramatically increases productivity and concentrates wealth, the American people have a stake in those gains." Author attribution and year (2026) are correct. The plan is funded partly by equity stakes in AI companies and shares AI-concentrated wealth via a dividend, so the "for" vote on requiring AI labs to contribute equity to a dividend-paying trust aligns with his stated position. Note: Bores' plan is national in scope (American people) rather than a global trust paying every person on Earth, but his core stance supports the statement's principle.
