Paper Proposes Five Arguments for Broadly Sharing AI Benefits
IasonGabriel · x · 2026-07-07
Iason Gabriel's paper presents five arguments for widely sharing AI and its scientific benefits: 1) human right to share in scientific progress; 2) global benefit and wasted human potential; 3) luck and arbitrariness of birth circumstances; 4) the 'tree of knowledge' in science; 5) global economic structure.
These arguments form an 'overlapping consensus' supporting broad distribution of benefits, leading to an empirical discussion on how to achieve it. The author cites this paper as the result of over five years of research and explores its implications for AI and technology ethics.
