Currently, employment is heavily taxed through income and payroll taxes, making hiring humans relatively expensive compared with deploying software. To encourage work and hiring, we can shift some taxation from human labour to autonomous AI agents. [...] This shift does not reduce government revenue; it simply changes the collection point, from workers to the technology that is replacing them. It ensures automation happens where it truly adds value, not merely where the tax code favours machines.
