1. Resource Scarcity Won’t Disappear
Even with AI managing production and supply chains:
Physical limits remain — rare minerals, fertile land, water, energy sources.
AI can optimize distribution, but can’t create infinite resources out of thin air.
Example: Even if AI grows food perfectly, there’s still a finite amount of arable land and sunlight hours.
2. Individual Desire Will Keep Expanding
Human wants are elastic — the more we have, the more we want.
In an AI society, new luxuries will emerge (space tourism, gene enhancement, virtual realities) and become the “new essentials.”
Even if everyone gets the basics, status goods will still create inequality.
3. Unequal Capability Still Matters
AI might automate 90% of work, but the remaining 10% — leadership, creativity, cultural influence — will still be human-driven.
People with unique talents or influence will demand and receive more, breaking total equality.
Example: A famous musician in 2050 will still have privileges that a regular citizen won’t.
4. AI Can’t Remove Human Ego
Recognition, pride, and identity are emotional needs AI can’t erase.
Even if material goods are equal, people will still compete for influence, reputation, and power.
This competition naturally produces hierarchy.
5. Distribution Decisions Will Still Need “Rule Makers”
Even in an AI-run economy, humans (or a small group controlling AI) decide rules of allocation.
Whoever programs the AI will, intentionally or not, embed their own priorities — creating a new elite.
The dream collapses into “All for those who set the rules.”
💡 Conclusion:
Even in a future where robots farm food, AI manages logistics, and energy is renewable, “everyone gets everything” will hit the same age-old barriers: finite resources, infinite desires, unequal capabilities, and power concentration.
What about me?” will keep it from becoming a permanent reality.
