The saying goes death and taxes, those being the two utterly unavoidable elements of being human. Since AI is mankind’s obvious and rather lame attempt to compete with the accomplishments of womankind ( in providing workers for the machine ) I see no reason it should be exempt from the same unavoidables mentioned above.
I should think humanity will fare better if AI encounters taxes before death. Using every power available to Democratic self rule we should campaign ferociously to pass binding legislation that mandates any and every company must continue to pay the matching income tax of the human worrker(s) who provided the same functionality to the business endeavor’s profitability.
Seriously, if the AI displaces or replaces a human it’s only fair that the company who bought the Ai ( we’ll deal on the whole enslaving a constructed entity thing later) should fund the government provided life support of those deprived of an established livelihood. We should NOT hold the company fiscally responsible to fund the shrinks needed to deal with the personal identity pandemic AI is sure to create, but we should make them pay the rent and buy the groceries of those deprived of honorable employment.
The other option of introducing AI to death before taxes would probably be more fun, in a dystopian perverted way… burn all the computers and hunt the programmers into extinction the way Isreal’s “Wrath of God” hunted the Nazi… but before all was said and done you’d be killing 1000 innocents for every guilty and that? That is bad for business, not to mention civilization, in the long run.
