"Building Community Infrastructure for the Age of Artificial Intelligence"
AI is moving fast.
Communities need capacity whether impacts are modest or large. This plan aligns private gains with public investment; a policy that pays off in all scenarios.
If disruptions are mild, we still fund universally useful infrastructure.
If they’re larger, the dividend scales automatically with measured productivity gains.

How the AI dividend could work
When it applies: £200m UK revenue and a material AI deployment (≥50 roles affected or ≥25% unit-cost gain)
How it’s counted: employment changes or productivity gains (rate cards by use-case).
How much: small rate (1–3.7%) on a company’s AI investment in use. Hard cap: never more than 10% of verified AI savings or 0.20% of UK revenue.
Where it goes: 50:50 split between a national fund and local Career Infrastructure Funds, allocated by population + need.
How to fund universal career support with AI dividends
A small, capped contribution on material AI deployments turns measured productivity gains into local infastructure every community can use, without slowing innovation

The case: why infrastructure beats one-off time limited programmes
The model: tiny rates, thresholds, hard caps

Examples: Norway’s fund, NHS logic, FE colleges, housing associations, makerspaces
Implementation: employer rate cards, one-page AI Impact Return, timelines
Appendix: worked FTSE-100 example
