Prien calls for tax on AI-driven value creationPrien links the proposal to investment in education; positions on the potential levy differ within the Union.
- Prien told stern that value creation generated mainly through artificial intelligence should be taxed.
- According to Prien, the revenue should fund education and enable targeted investment in opportunities for children and young people.
- The Union is divided in an ongoing policy debate over taxing artificial intelligence.
- Economy Minister Katherina Reiche has so far ruled out such a tax; Chancellor Friedrich Merz is also critical of it.
“If value creation is driven primarily by artificial intelligence, it must be taxed too. There is no other way.”— CDU deputy leader Karin Prien said this to stern while discussing the taxation of value created through artificial intelligence.
