Silviu Pitis

Writer on AI economics, taxation, and citizen-dividend policy.

As AI shifts income from labor to capital, we need to rethink taxation and redistribution. A levy on large firms, paid in their own non-voting shares to a public benefit trust and enforced through market access, sidesteps the failures of past wealth taxes. The proceeds could be used to pay every citizen a dividend that scales with AI's advance.

Governments should tax capital, not labor, as AI makes human work less central to the economy

AI threatens to move income from labor to capital faster than any technology before it. Perhaps the best response is to give citizens a direct and durable claim on the capital whose returns are replacing their wages.
