  • AI Economy Risks Creating a Global Permanent Underclass
    June 2, 2026, 9:57 AM EDT. The San Francisco Bay Area is undergoing an AI boom, driving massive wealth for top programmers with compensation packages reaching hundreds of millions of dollars. However, this surge is coupled with fears that AI automation, particularly in coding jobs, could create a permanent underclass as many startups fail. Economists debate AI's job impact, but Silicon Valley is pessimistic about widespread dislocation. While some countries like South Korea, Japan, and Taiwan are thriving in the AI supply chain, others such as those in Africa and Latin America face bleak prospects. The risk is a global economic divide as regions unable to participate in AI's growth may lack profits and tax revenue to fund social safety nets like universal basic income.
