Prior research discovered that the source of wealth is human capital ideas of imagination and creativity. Said capital is deployed through the capitalism (C), democracy (D), rule of law (R) (CDR) economic growth model. The point of beginning is collaboration to achieve rule of law that attracts capital and protects democracy that deploys capital optimally to generate gross domestic product of goods and services. But about 90% of people in the world have diminished collaboration skill due to neglect, or a negative epigenetic transgenerational psycho sequela rooted in environmental stresses such as forced labor, excessive discrimination and exposure to dangerous chemicals. This paper discusses how artificial intelligence (AI) can be used to help invoke or recover and develop collaboration skill in said people, then enhance the execution of human collaboration to raise CDR, raise gross domestic product (GDP) and standard of living, and thereby pursue an end to poverty.
