If Bots are taking away your jobs, should they be paying your taxes too?

Loved the blog post on TOI , adding a lighter note to the new age workforce or rather the absence of it!

Technology is weeding the repetitive tasks and activities that needs least human interventions out of the workforce. These tasks are delivered by bots. For example, the task of screening resumes with keywords are shortened by man hours using machine learning.

We already have Robot Lawyer being developed by Luminance ,  Xiao Nan a robot journalist and Sue the Artificial HR Assistant. The efficiency and the data analysis is essentially beyond human. Hence, the output remains desirable. 

Does this helps the revenue of a firm? Does this helps the remaining workforce? Would collectively add to the GDP? Well, that remains a distant dream, till we have data to support it.

More importantly, each time a repetitive falls out of a job , does it make space for delivering an intellectual one?  Of course we don’t have too many such job openings. Does this means we are calling for new jobs too ? As we are designing these bots are we designing a new workforce too?  Let’s not stretch this far into forming a new economy, or are we moving into one?

To conclude, if robots are taking away jobs, should they be paying taxes too? Or should we pay a convenience fees for using them? Or are we already paying that?
