If it won't then it is effectively short circuiting whole capitalist society as we know it

If people are not working, then they have no income - Less taxes for state

If they have no income, they can't buy stuff or services - Less taxes for state

If companies can't sell stuff and services, they are going bankrupt - Less taxes for state

If state has no income from taxes, state is going bankrupt.

Consumers, Companies and Governments all will go bust if state are not going to massively and aggressively tax AI and automation. Then pay UBI to consumers so we can at least pretend that capitalism is still a thing.
