AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would create an Artificial Intelligence Horizon Fund in the U.S. Treasury, run by the Secretary of Labor, to pay for worker training, entrepreneurship, national service, unemployment insurance changes, and other programs related to artificial intelligence. It would fund this with three new federal taxes starting after 2026: a 5 percent tax on digital advertising revenue of large companies, a per-use tax on AI content generation services, and a 50 percent tax on certain profits of large AI companies. It would also provide a $30 billion repayable advance to the fund. A 15-member Artificial Intelligence Advisory Council would recommend how the money is spent each year and decide whether a significant labor market disruption has occurred. The bill would also create a National Service for America's Future program that gives grants to states for paid service placements leading to jobs or credentials.
