Eventually, public pressure made the situation untenable, leading to the creation of the corporate income tax and the personal income tax, environmental regulations, and the establishment of national public lands. (This is true whether the business is subject to the corporate income tax or the personal income tax.) Congress could consider imposing a tax on AI “tokens,” which are the unit of AI usage, a way that the owners of AI companies measure the data processed by their models. A token tax is less like an income tax and more like an excise tax or consumption tax. They would need to clearly define what they are taxing and ensure that the metric applies uniformly across all AI companies.
