Bill Gates has revived his proposal for a 'robot tax', suggesting that companies using AI and robots to replace human workers should pay the same FICA taxes as they would for human employees. This, he believes, would help maintain social safety nets and ensure continued tax revenue for the government. Gates first proposed the idea in 2017 and has since reiterated it in various interviews and essays, warning about the potential job displacement effects of AI and robotics.
