# Windfall Trust ## Basic Info **Name:** Windfall Trust **What is it:** A nonprofit working on ways to share the economic gains from advanced/transformative AI more broadly, including policy and institutional design for “benefit-sharing.” Seed-funded by the Future of Life Institute. **Who is involved:** Adrian Brown; Anna Yelizarova; Deric Cheng; [[Danny Buerkli]] **Location:** Geneva, Switzerland **Link:** [https://windfalltrust.org](https://windfalltrust.org/) --- ## Entries ### Origin: Windfall Clause The work is closely associated with the **Windfall Clause** idea: AI companies pre-commit to donate a share of profits if they reach an extreme “windfall” threshold (often illustrated as ~**≥1% of global GDP**). At the moment, Windfall Trust works on two workstreams: - **AGI Social Contract:** A Windfall Trust program exploring how the social contract and government responses should adapt if human labor stops being the main organizing principle of the economy. - **Global dividend / benefit-sharing:** Research and proposals on converting outsized AI-driven profits into broadly shared benefits (treat as agenda/proposals, not an implemented system).
