Larry Fink, CEO of BlackRock, warns the AI boom risks worsening inequality, with rewards flowing only to a handful of firms and investors. In his annual letter, he noted that AI threatens to repeat—and amplify—a pattern where wealth accrues to those who already own assets. His solution: more people should invest in capital markets rather than rely on homeownership. The warning comes as BlackRock manages $14tn and Fink’s own $30.8m pay package has drawn shareholder scrutiny.
