A population-level tendency for AI tools to widen access to knowledge and capabilities across user groups over time, such that gaps between previously advantaged and less advantaged groups on AI-mediated tasks narrow. A macro trend, not an interaction-level event.
TREND. Tracked across cohorts or regions over time using an access/capability indicator (e.g. share of a population able to complete a defined knowledge task with AI assistance, or a between-group disparity index). The construct is the change in the disparity indicator over the observation window.
Proposed measurement protocol (not yet empirically validated): Longitudinal between-group disparity index (e.g. ratio or gap in task-completion or access rates across defined groups) measured at >=2 timepoints from survey or usage data; trend reported with uncertainty interval.
