Should AI that replaces jobs be taxed?
AI is going to replace thousands of office jobs.
- Tax companies that replace humans with AI
- Train people on a large scale and adapt social protection
- Let innovation happen: new jobs will emerge
What's at stake: No one knows how many jobs AI will destroy or create. The disagreement is about the response: slow it down, tax it, or support the transition.
The left's argument
The gains from AI go to companies: they should be taxed to fund retraining.
The centre's argument
Train people on a large scale and adapt social protection, without slowing technology.
The right's argument
Every technological revolution destroyed and then created jobs. Slowing AI would set us back.
