Our tax code currently rewards companies for replacing workers — subsidizing AI investment while taxing the wages of the people being displaced. We need to reform that, reducing the ability to write off AI investment when it leads to less work.

That’s why I’ve proposed the AI Dividend: direct payments to Americans — funded through a token tax on AI usage and government equity stakes in frontier AI firms, designed to automatically kick in on clear economic triggers.

At its core, the AI Dividend is simple: if AI dramatically increases productivity and concentrates wealth, the American people have a stake in those gains.
