随著人工智慧快速发展，各界担忧其将取代数百万白领工作并加剧财富集中，研究显示初阶职位招募已受影响。为减轻劳工冲击，政策制定者与专家提出多项收入重分配方案，包括透过主权财富基金或税收分享企业收益的「AI红利」，以及由政府直接发放现金补助的「保证基本收入」（UBI）；此外，伊隆·马斯克提出应对通缩的「全民高收入」，而山姆·奥特曼则倡议让人人拥有算力份额的「全民基本算力」。
除了直接发放资金或资源，劳动力适应与薪资保障亦成为应对政策的核心重点。针对失业与转型需求，政界与产业界推动成立培训计划（如RAISE US），协助劳工转移至医疗或先进制造等领域，尽管历史经验显示大型公办培训成效仍存争议；同时，经济学家提出「薪资保险」制度，由政府暂时补贴劳工因转职至较低薪职位所产生的薪资落差，以提供过渡期缓冲。
在财政与税制层面，专家主张透过改革税法以消除偏向技术资本而忽视人力资源的失衡现象。相关倡议包括修正企业培训抵税规定，鼓励雇主投资员工学习AI协作技能；此外，桥水基金提出课征35%的「Token税」以平衡人力与算力成本，纽约州议员亦提案对因AI裁员的企业征收所得附加费，将税收专款用于劳工再培训及失业保险体系。
The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence has sparked concerns over mass white-collar job displacement and wealth concentration, with studies already showing a decline in entry-level hiring. In response, policymakers and tech leaders have proposed wealth redistribution mechanisms, including 'AI dividends' funded via corporate taxes or sovereign wealth funds holding stakes in AI giants, as well as guaranteed basic income programs; additionally, Elon Musk has advocated for a 'universal high income' while Sam Altman envisions 'universal basic compute' that grants citizens shares of AI computing power.
Beyond direct financial assistance, workforce adaptation and wage protection are prominent elements of the proposed policy responses. Initiatives like the RAISE US coalition aim to raise substantial funds to retrain displaced workers for sectors such as healthcare and advanced manufacturing, although the long-term efficacy of large-scale government retraining remains debated; concurrently, labor economists have suggested 'wage insurance' programs where governments temporarily subsidize the pay cut experienced by displaced workers moving into lower-paying roles.
Tax code reforms are also being explored to remove policy incentives that favor technological investments over human capital. Policy groups advocate expanding tax deductions for training workers into new AI-driven roles, while major financial firms like Bridgewater Associates support a 'token tax' on AI usage to level the playing field against taxed human payrolls; meanwhile, legislative efforts such as New York's proposed corporate surcharge target companies laying off workers due to AI to fund retraining and unemployment benefits.
