EU urged to nationalize citizen data for AI taxation and UBI

A Mastodon user is advocating for governments and the European Union to nationalize all data generated by their citizens.

The revenue generated from these taxes would then be directed into a universal basic income (UBI) style compensation fund, ensuring that AI benefits everyone. AI

IMPACT Proposes a policy framework for AI data usage and taxation, potentially impacting future AI development and economic models.
