Comment by Nick Vincent

Specifically: I propose that we design and implement a presumptive commons-rent tax (PCRT) on operating profits attributable to frontier AI systems which can be credited away (possibly to zero) by providing independent evaluators with data attribution receipts arguing that specific frontier capabilities derive from either private market data or commons data which was used with some kind of reciprocity. [...] Tax proceeds would be split between funding new public goods, making additional reciprocity and sustainability payments to data commons themselves [...] and making payments to individuals (if viable).
