Reps. Greg Casar, Valerie Foushee and Sara Jacobs introduced the AI Tax and Work Protection Act August 6, creating a Work Protection Administration modeled on the WPA to offset AI-driven layoffs. Casar's framing: "We are not going to let AI company CEOs get rich by displacing millions of American workers." It joins Sanders' 50%-of-stock sovereign wealth fund, Wyden's wage-security program and Warren's data-center energy tax, but it's the first House bill tying revenue directly to a jobs program rather than a fund.
