Mark Cuban proposes federal AI token tax, says it could boost efficiency and revenue
U.S. billionaire investor Mark Cuban proposed a federal-level “AI token tax” on AI service operators. He suggested charging less than 50 cents per 1 million tokens at the commercial AI provider level, with revenue rising as usage increases. Cuban said the tax should apply only to commercial providers and exclude open-source models and local inference on personal devices. Supporters cite efficiency and revenue gains, while critics warn it would hurt U.S. firms and expand government tracking.

U.S.-China race for robot dominance: China leads in scale, U.S. holds technology edge
The United States and China are competing for leadership in robotics through different approaches. U.S. firms attract far more private AI investment and Chinese AI models trail U.S. models on a key capability index. China, however, is installing robots much faster, backed by broad government support and industrial policy. Beijing is pushing robots to offset labour shortages from ageing and population decline. U.S. companies are focusing on general-purpose AI humanoids.

Mark Cuban says humanoid robots will fail within 5 to 10 years
Billionaire investor Mark Cuban says he believes in a future where humans and robots coexist, but argues humanoid robots are not the solution. He said humanoid robots would fail within 5 years, or at most 10 years, and voiced skepticism about humanlike robot projects being pursued by Tesla and OpenAI. Cuban said it is more efficient to design spaces and robots together, and that robots should be built in optimal forms rather than human shapes.
