Bill Gates wants to introduce tax for job-stealing cyborgs

The robot revolution has already begun, and it’s threatening to steal more human roles. If this continues to progress, Bill Gates believes that the robots should be taxed.

In a recent interview with Quartz, technology veteran Gates said: "If a human worker does $50,000 of work in a factory, that income is taxed.

“If a robot comes in to do the same thing, you'd think we'd tax the robot at a similar level."

Incoming cyborgs rendering human labour redundant has already shown its benefits in factory work, however, the Microsoft Co-Founder says it should not be feared, as robots present an opportunity for humans to enter roles where we really need them.
