Comment by Anna Yelizarova

Founding researcher of the Windfall Trust (a Future of Life Institute initiative); researcher on AI economics and global benefit-sharing
[A global dividend system would] deliver recurring payouts to individuals, grounded in the principle that every person holds a legitimate claim to a share of the value created by transformative technologies [...] recognizing that modern AI systems are built atop shared infrastructure, public data, and a long arc of collective human knowledge.

Verification History

AI Verified Verified. WebFetch on the Digitalist Papers URL returned HTTP 403, but a targeted web search confirmed the passage matches Anna Yelizarova's essay "The Missing Institution: A Global Dividend System for the Age of Transformative AI" at the exact source URL (digitalistpapers.com/vol2/yelizarova). The text about recurring payouts, every person holding a legitimate claim to a share of value from transformative technologies, and AI built atop shared infrastructure, public data, and collective human knowledge all matches. Author attribution is correct (Windfall Trust founding researcher). Her vote "for" the statement about frontier AI labs contributing equity to a global trust paying a dividend to every person aligns directly with her own proposal (she explicitly proposes securing equity stakes for a global dividend fund). Corrected the year from 2026 to 2025, since The Digitalist Papers Volume 2 was published December 2025. Source URL is the primary source. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-7 · 10h ago
