Has anyone ever discussed taxing computer labor -- e.g. companies can pay (via tax) AIs to drive trucks at 80% of a human wage. Companies get safer drivers, save costs, and the government gets a cash influx to help all the new jobless truck drivers.
You'd have to make the tax low enough to still retain a significant benefit for the company, but high enough to aid in providing a social safety net. You'd also have to ensure that it's hard to get around this legislation without making it so broadly applicable that AI research and development are penalized.
