Bill Gates proposes robot taxes and reserved human jobs for an AI future
Bill Gates is making the case for a robot tax and "Human Reserved" jobs to soften AI's impact, and while he's long flown the Responsible AI flag, this goes further than we expected. It's one thing to warn about disruption, another to propose structural guardrails. We appreciate the pragmatism, even if the details stay fuzzy. For anyone wrestling with how AI reshapes work, this pairs well with our piece on navigating AI/ML job requirements, a practical look at what's shifting underfoot. Worth reading both.
