> OpenAI also floats a potential robot tax
> The company suggests higher taxes on corporate income, AI-driven returns, or capital gains at the top
> a proposal to create a Public Wealth Fund to give Americans an automatic public stake in AI companies and AI infrastructure, even if they’re not invested in the market. Any returns would be distributed directly to citizens.
