"They built the AI on your intelligence. They trained it on your conversations. They're running it on your electricity. They're using it to replace your job. And every time you use it to search for a new one, you're making it better at replacing the next person."
— The AI Power Dividend Manifesto
This is not a theory.
This is your bill.

The AI economy is affecting every American differently. Select the story that fits yours — and find out exactly what is being done to you, and what you can do about it.
Maria
Residential Ratepayer
Your electricity bill is rising. You didn't cause this.
Robert
Displaced Worker
The AI replacing you was trained on your professional knowledge.
Jasmine
Young Job Seeker
You did everything right. The on-ramp was automated away.
Carlos
Small Business Owner
Your operating costs are rising. Your competitors are AI companies.
Denise
Community Organizer
You know how to build coalitions. Here is the campaign.
Alex
Informed Citizen
You know something is wrong. Here is exactly what was taken.
This is about power.
All four kinds.
The electricity bill is the entry point. But the word "power" was always carrying more than one meaning.
Phase 1 — The Entry Point
Grid Power
AI data centers are consuming electricity at residential scale, driving up your bill, and passing infrastructure costs to ratepayers — while paying less than their fair share.
Phase 2 — The Labor Argument
Economic Power
Corporations are replacing human workers with AI agents — not to improve service, but to replace payroll with tokens. The same companies telling workers 'AI won't replace you' are pitching investors on replacing 80% of their workforce.
Phase 3 — The Movement
Human Power
Every AI model was trained on human intelligence — your writing, your conversations, your professional knowledge — taken without consent and without compensation. The free tier was never free.
Phase 4 — The Future
Credential Power
The degree, the internship, the entry-level job — the entire on-ramp to the middle class is being automated away before the next generation can reach it. The AI Job Guild rebuilds that on-ramp.
Alaska did it with oil.
We can do it with AI.
Since 1982, Alaska has paid every resident an annual dividend from oil company profits — because the oil belonged to the people of Alaska, not to the companies extracting it.
The AI Power Dividend applies the same principle to AI data centers: a per-kWh Community Power Contribution that funds residential bill subsidies, local grid investment, and the AI Job Guild in every community that hosts a data center.
Per-kWh Community Power Contribution on all data centers over 5 MW
50% to residential bill subsidies — doubled for low-income households
30% to local grid infrastructure investment
20% to the AI Job Guild Workforce Transition Fund
A data center complex surrounded by the residential neighborhoods whose electricity bills fund it.
