AI tax?

[Anonymous]

Who is developing the proposal to tax AI credit consumption?

It is called the "AI Dividend" and revenues raised go directly to Social Security. The tax is levied on AI model deployers and cloud providers above a certain revenue threshold that do business in the US.

The tax is a fraction of a cent for use of compute credits, API calls, tokens processed, and/or GPU hours that materially contribute to automated decision-making by an AI system:
- Per-token tax (e.g., fraction of a cent per million tokens processed... rule of thumb for LLMs: 1,000 tokens=750 words)
- Per GPU hour tax on AI designated accelerators
- Cloud AI service surcharge (percentage of AI-related billings)
- Exceptions for scientific research, healthcare, and national security

This is similar to proposed transaction taxes for high frequency stock trading and financial transactions floated previously by Sen. Sanders, Warren, and the EU Commission.

When is AI Dividend proposal scheduled for release?

What on earth are you talking about? There is no way any new federal taxes are happening before 2029.

You might not know this, but proposals are introduced all the time!

I don't know that this is being modeled by any mainstream tax policy shops, but it's inevitable, especially if it displaces workers. Our payroll taxes fund social insurance programs so that revenue might need to be replaced. Taxing the AI, especially the bots, is also a first step to UBI.

Yeah and 98% of them go nowhere.

I’d support this one. When is it being introduced?

I don’t support any new taxes until the waste and fraud with our tax dollars is under control. There needs to be accountability. Not one cent more. In fact, taxes should be cut. Stop spending more. No new revenue.

You sound like a robot. Get a new talking point

I’d be in favor of this but no need for any sort of exception or revenue threshold. Tax it all.
