H.R. 10044 would tax large AI companies on the value of the tokens their models process or on AI-service revenue, whichever is higher, with a rate that rises automatically as unemployment climbs, and would create a Work Protection Administration in the Department of Labor to fund jobs. Introduced by Representatives Sara Jacobs, Greg Casar and Valerie Foushee. Recorded from secondary reporting; confirm on Congress.gov.
No obligations; a proposal to watch in the economic-transition tracker.
