Our tax system basically gives companies huge tax savings when they automate a job, because we currently tax wages but not AI. If you replace a worker with an AI-powered robot, you save on payroll taxes: That's functionally a tax break. That's wrong, and an AI tax would start to change it by leveling the playing field.AI Verified source (May 28, 2026)
