Source: Tasse, la rivoluzione dell’intelligenza artificiale: chi le pagherà se i lavoratori sono già sempre di meno? | Corriere.it
Corriere della Sera published an article by editor-at-large Federico Fubini on 13 July 2026 examining how artificial intelligence may affect employment, labor-based taxation, and the fiscal capacity of advanced economies.
It’s a commentary based on an interview conducted for the article. The discussion addressed the emergence of highly AI-augmented workers, the concentration of productivity gains among a relatively small group, and the transfer of economic value from labor income toward corporate profits and AI-related rents.
The article also considers the difficulty governments may face in replacing income-tax and social-contribution revenues if AI adoption reduces employment in knowledge-intensive industries.
A related Executive AI Brief expands on the discussion, including the relationship between AI-driven labor substitution, fiscal erosion, data-center taxation, and the geographic distribution of AI-generated value.
