How Taxing AI Could Save Jobs

As potential shifts and job losses in the labor market driven by artificial intelligence are debated, it is emphasized that tax systems need to be reorganized. According to U.S. Census Bureau data, companies' AI adoption rates vary.

AI Usage Rates in Companies

According to data from the U.S. Census Bureau's Business Trends and Outlook Survey, only 20 percent of firms with fewer than 20 employees use artificial intelligence, while this rate remains at 37 percent for those with at least 250 employees.

Potential Opportunities for Employment and the Jevons Effect

Artificial intelligence can increase efficiency, eliminate routine tasks, and create new professional fields. Thanks to the Jevons effect, falling prices and increased sales can provide more employment.

The Need to Regulate Tax Systems

Governments need to eliminate tax biases that work against human labor. Imposing taxes on AI tokens and offering incentives for employee training can balance the scales.
