What we’re about
Description:
Throughout history, the foundation of livelihoods has evolved with each major societal and technological shift. In the agrarian age, physical skills were the cornerstone of survival. The industrial age transformed physical labor into the backbone of wages. The knowledge economy brought expertise and education to the forefront. Now, in the AI age, the next great source of income is emerging: data.
As millions of jobs face displacement from automation, and as affordability crises, wealth inequality, and poverty reach critical levels—not just in America, but across the globe—a new system is needed to provide people with economic resilience. The Data Wages Co-op is pioneering a revolutionary income model where data becomes the foundation for wages. Individuals can create, control, and license their data assets, earning royalties and recurring income—a sustainable source of wages untied to traditional labor.
Think of this as a capitalistic version of Universal Basic Income, where individuals generate value through their data, contributing directly to the AI economy while securing their livelihoods.
