Artificial intelligence and robotics promise unprecedented efficiency while creating a risk of job loss for human workers. A specific tax on companies that deploy AI and robotics that are capable of autonomous decision-making could provide economic support for displaced workers as well as an incentive for strategic decision-making about automation, particularly when the benefits are marginal. Implementing this tax may require extending legal personhood to robots, not in order to grant robots human rights but to create a structured basis for interactions between robots, individuals, and the state.
