For 100 years, labor consistently received 70% of national income while capital received 30%, a pattern explained by the Cobb-Douglas production function (Y = A × K^α × L^(1-α)) where α represents the capital share of approximately 0.3. However, artificial intelligence may disrupt this century-old regularity because AI can perform work autonomously without requiring human labor, potentially shifting income distribution away from the traditional labor-capital split.
