I’m firmly in the “AI will never be a sentient being and shouldn’t be expected to have rights” camp. Accordingly, AI won’t be sending kids to public schools, collecting Social Security, or benefiting from Medicare. Most importantly, AI won’t have seats in Congress. If AI does productive work, individuals and organizations who leverage it successfully will make more money, which is taxed progressively (in theory anyway). At higher brackets, income tax can bring in more revenue than payroll taxes.
