Justin Trudeau warns AI boom could create hundreds of trillionaires—and it will mean there's something 'fundamentally wrong with the world'.

The article focuses on concerns about growing wealth inequality amid advances in artificial intelligence (AI) and the rise of ultra-wealthy individuals. Former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau warns that while a few trillionaires may be acceptable, a large number would indicate systemic failure, highlighting the record number of billionaires and their rapidly increasing wealth. Elon Musk, poised to become the world’s first trillionaire through his companies SpaceX and Tesla, exemplifies this trend, though he questions the long-term relevance of money in a future shaped by AI and robotics. The article also notes differing philanthropic approaches among billionaires and references broader societal concerns about income disparity, including remarks from Pope Leo XIV.
