This article examines the impact of artificial intelligence on the economy and the main factors that lead to income inequality. The intervention of artificial intelligence in the labor market through automation, the increase in investment income, and the unequal distribution of new job opportunities play an important role in the deepening of income inequality. While qualified personnel operating in high-tech fields gain greater advantages, professions requiring medium and low qualifications either disappear or turn into low-income and unstable forms of employment.
In addition, inter-regional economic differences and the decline in individual forms of development and advancement further deepen the inequality formed by technology. The article also shows optimal solutions for the implementation of new tax policies and the reduction of income inequality, taking into account the role of AI in the economy.
