Externalities? I thought Trump was getting rid of those? ;)
Comment on If AI replaces workers, should it also pay taxes?

Because AI is a disruptive technology we should require 40% of gross profits be put into a fund to address its negative externalities.

Better yet: nationalize the AI companies. Make AI like water supply or fire service - a public utility. My government is VERY far from perfect, but even a country with any semblance of democracy has a better chance of making AI safe and useful to all than a greedy corporation. That way the training data and model parameters can be opened to public scrutiny.

I definitely want my complete incorruptible government to be in charge of the training and maintenance of the national knowledge repository, this sounds like a great idea with no chance of negative results.
At least Google just wants to steal and sell your data. Trump actively wants you to suffer.

Joke’s on you.
They don’t actually make any money. Not unless their a monopoly that’s captured regulators anyway.

Gross profits, that way they are even more fucked. Can’t make it profitable? I guess it wasn’t meant to be.

You mean gross revenue?

That would be even more brutal, but sure I could agree to that. Then you could talk them down to gross profit so they feel like they are getting something.
