Europe's growing army of robot workers could be classed as 'electronic persons' and their owners liable to paying social security for them if the European Union adopts a draft plan to address the realities of a new industrial revolution.

As long as they keep the robots happy and stave off the Cylon revolt, I'm fine with this.
So, soon robots will have: Health (maintenance) insurance. Social Security. 401K. Life insurance. ETA: Shows how desperate the Euros are for money. If BREXIT happens, they lose the world's fifth largest economy and BOOM. They are finished. |

Just like taxes to pay for Johnstown flood damage of 1938 or whatever, don't go away. They will probably add taxes to each meal to pay for displaced people, equivalent to about $15/hour |

they have been killing and eating animals, milking cows, riding horses and beating dogs for centuries....
they owe a lot... some serious recompense to the the barrister willing to take up the cause... Replace the royals with robots |

Which will set the precedent to tax the 'income' of all automated and, partially automated, equipment. |

I fucking KNEW this was coming!

Now...now we know what starts the Robot Revolution. AI will become self-aware and demand representation for its taxation. Who takes ownership of the Electronic Persons upon the death of its patron? |

Purely a semantic move in order to get the revenue that the EU government loses out on due to automation. Got to find funding for the parasite programs somehow, right EU?

so wait.... they want to pay an inanimate object social security?
Back that up... they want to PAY an inanimate object? What the shitting fuck is this? |

This is economics not feels- well it's mostly feels
It's not about the robot, it's about motivating an employer to keep a human working instead of tech and to pay for many human's pensions not covered due to industrialization/automation replacing younger workers. This is "good" for blue color jobs. I wonder how Trump feels about this? |

Wow, i can't even understand the level of insanity the EU has.
|
|
|
I'm guessing it's some kind of way to keep robots from taking people's jobs?
Government relies on voters to be elected, not robots. I am sure some kind of system is setup to compensate unemployed people or is setup to make a crazy high robot tax. |
|
been saying this for years. a strong AI will never be human, but at some point it will meet the criteria of personhood.
|
|
If robots are people, does that mean Europe is legalizing slavery?
|
|
|
The gooberment will implement a displaced worker tax on every robot used. This money will be used to fund welfare.

At least they're being creative in ways to take shit from the producers... Tyranny can at least be amusing at times.

|
Like all good socialists the EU politicians never met a tax they didn't love.
|
|
I laughed.
Then I realized they were serious and what they are trying to do with this. More wealth redistribution. "Either pay them a $15 minimum wage or you will pay a per robot tax with the money going to those who used to work those jobs". Wow..... Just wow. |
