The AI Boom Has A Worker Problem

The AI boom is creating a new power fight inside the chip supply chain.

Reuters reports that more than 45,000 Samsung workers are threatening an 18-day strike starting May 21. The dispute centers on bonus payouts after Samsung’s memory-chip business benefited from the global AI boom.

But the fight is bigger than one company.

AI depends on semiconductor workers, chip factories, memory modules, foundry lines, and global supply chains. If those workers feel left out of the upside, the AI boom becomes a labor story too.

So here’s the question: if AI creates massive value, who should share in the profits?
