Bankless · Will AI Populism Decide the 2028 Election? | Jasmine Sun · 13 May 2026 podcast

I don't think that they're all going to easily switch into a new job.

I think they're going to build a lot of

political resentment.

And so this is where it sort of connects to my interest in AI populism.

This time, maybe instead of right-wing resentment, the kind that drove Trump, it might be more like left-wing resentment where it's blaming the AI billionaires.

I think we already see that.

I think some of the biggest critics and skeptics of AI are people like creatives whose jobs have already been impacted by AI.

And so I think we're going to get a lot of populist backlash that results from people's jobs being threatened, even in small numbers.

And I also think that on the macro scale, even in a world with full employment, you still might get a declining labor share of the economy, which is something to worry about, which is, right, this idea that, yes, maybe everyone still has a job, but overall wealth is accruing to capital owners who have the ability to rent infinite robot labor.

And wealth inequality can cause its own kind of problems like these political imbalances, resentment at elites, things like that.

And so that's something I worry about even in a world where people mostly retain their work.

So I tend to be like job displacement.

It's not going to be it's not going to happen all at once.

It's not going to be the sort of apocalypse.

It's going to affect some narrow categories of people.

But those people are going to be really, really mad about it.

And it's going to really, really suck for them.

And I kind of want our policymakers to be more proactive to tell people if your job is automated by AI through no fault of your own, like you spent decades learning some skill and now it goes poof because of AI.

I do think we should support those people.

I don't think it's their fault.
