Mick Hunt examines how AI could concentrate wealth among 0.0001% of the population while leaving everyone else behind. He frames automation as a parental concern: will your kids thrive or struggle in a world where AI reshapes education and opportunity.

So one thing I talk about in the book is what does this mean for education? Yeah. Right. Because those of us who are parents like you, think about your kids and are they going to be out of work? Is there going to be 0.0001% of the population controlling 99.999% of the wealth? Is it could just be that small sliver of people who figure it out is everyone's going to be poor. I mean, we see underdeveloped nations like this, where the rich people live on a hill with security guards and pit bulls at the bottom, and they don't interact with everyone. We are at risk, as a society, especially here in America, of going in that direction. And some of that can't be stopped. But I'd rather my kids be on the hill than at the bottom struggling for food, as I'm sure we all feel that.
