Beyond the tax code, governments hold other levers to give workers a stake in AI’s gains. They can reward firms that fund support for displaced workers; levy surcharges on AI consumption or on the power drawn by large-scale compute and data centers; treat human knowledge as the capital that AI is trained on and require royalties for its use; or take equity in AI companies and pay citizens an AI dividend.
