OpenAI has released a 13-page policy blueprint calling for a robot tax, public wealth fund, and four-day workweek pilots to address AI-driven job disruptions. The proposals aim to manage the economic disruption caused by AI and ensure that the benefits of AI are shared broadly among citizens.
OpenAI, a San Francisco-based AI company, has proposed a robot tax on automated systems. The company suggests a public wealth fund where governments and AI companies invest in AI-related assets, with returns distributed to all citizens. OpenAI also advocates for a four-day workweek pilot and a modernization of the tax base, shifting from labor income to corporate income and capital gains taxes. The proposals aim to prevent the erosion of payroll tax revenue as AI displaces workers. A mechanism for auto-triggering safety nets is also proposed, which would activate government support programs when AI-related displacement metrics reach pre-set thresholds. The company's CEO frames the current moment as similar to the Progressive Era and the New Deal, requiring institutional rebuilding to address the disruptions caused by AI.
