The Hidden Cost of Artificial Intelligence: How AI Is Changing Jobs, Wages, Inequality, and the Economy Armando Olmos First research edition · September 2026 (Who Pays the Price) - Softcover
Book 1 of 4: Who Pays the Price
Synopsis
Progress has a price. Who pays it?
Artificial intelligence promises speed, convenience, and extraordinary new possibilities. But beneath that promise are costs that rarely receive equal attention: lost and weakened jobs, workplace surveillance, biased algorithms, rising electricity bills, and power concentrated in a handful of corporations.
This expanded and updated edition of The Hidden Cost of Artificial Intelligence follows the story through October 2026. Across twenty-five chapters, it examines how AI is reshaping employment, wages, privacy, education, healthcare, government, and daily life, and asks a vital question: Who benefits from this technology, and who is expected to carry its burdens?
Inside this edition:
• The AI spending boom, and who carries the risk if it goes wrong
• Layoffs announced in AI's name, and early warning signs for young workers
• Wages, bargaining power, and who keeps the gains
• The hidden workers who label data and moderate content
• Facial recognition at airports and stores, and surveillance at work
• Hiring algorithms, healthcare denials, and automated decisions about public benefits
• The data-center boom, power auctions, and rising utility bills
• Deepfakes, voice clones, and AI-powered fraud
• Copyright fights over the books, art, and music used to train AI
• Social media addiction verdicts and settlements, AI companion chatbots, and children's safety
• State AI laws, court challenges, and Europe's delayed rules
• Right to repair, union contracts, and practical ways to take back control
Each chapter closes with key points, questions for reflection, and its own sources. The book also includes a community and workplace action checklist, discussion questions, a glossary, and an extensive list of sources for further reading. It is written for workers, families, students, educators, and community groups.
This book is not a rejection of technology. It is a call to make technology accountable to human dignity, fair work, civil rights, and democratic government.
Technology should serve humanity, not control it.

The Hidden Cost of Artificial Intelligence (Paperback)
Print on DemandSeller: Grand Eagle Retail, Bensenville, IL, U.S.A.
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Author's NoteArtificial intelligence is often described as though it were an independent force arriving from the future. It is better understood as a set of tools designed, financed, purchased, and managed by people and institutions. Its effects will therefore depend not only on what the technology can do, but on who controls it, why it is deployed, and how the resulting gains and losses are distributed.This book does not claim that AI will eliminate all work or automatically create prosperity. Both promises are too simple. AI can help workers solve problems, reduce dangerous or repetitive tasks, improve access to expertise, and create valuable products. It can also be used to cut payrolls, weaken bargaining power, intensify surveillance, discriminate at scale, and concentrate wealth. The central economic question is not whether AI is good or bad. It is who gains, who pays, and who gets a voice in the transition.The evidence is developing quickly. Exposure estimates describe tasks that AI may affect; they are not forecasts of layoffs. Employer surveys are expectations, not guarantees. The figures in this book are dated and sourced so readers can distinguish measured results from scenarios and speculation.
