Jeremy Bearer-Friend (George Washington) presents The AI Equity Tax: Past, Present, and Future today from 1-2pm ET at Boston University, as part of the Graduate Tax Program’s Tax Policy Guest Speaker series. Registration is available by emailing gradtax@bu.edu.

As the scope and impact of the AI industry continue to grow, so too does the import of taxing AI. The question of how best to do so has deep implications for state fiscal capacity, for industry regulation, for redistribution, and beyond. An AI tax was recently introduced by Senator Bernie Sanders and was the very first bill ever introduced in Congress specifically on taxing AI.
