The ethical standard for AI-driven workforce displacement.

The Problem
Jobs affected by generative AI
Goldman Sachs, 2023
Jobs displaced by 2027
WEF Future of Jobs, 2023
Global jobs affected by AI
IMF, Jan 2024
Workers in high-automation roles
ILO
No law requires companies to address any of this.

The Brutal Truth
When a robot replaces 240 workers, the company captures those 240 salaries in perpetuity.
That money moved from wages to a balance sheet. Permanently.
Workers get a severance cheque. The company gets a 15-year efficiency gain. That gap has no name — until now.
