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.
