    Bill Gates on 'billionaire tax': Perhaps the most suitable tax reform in the AI era is to tax the rich

    Bill Gates believes that levying a tax on the rich similar to California's 'billionaire tax' is the most appropriate way in the AI era, because the founders of AI and related industries have seen a significant increase in wealth, and families holding shares in these companies can also expect substantial investment returns, exacerbating the wealth gap. Gates points out that one cannot rely on the rich to solve the wealth gap problem through charitable donations, and the government should implement progressive taxation based on wealth levels, as charitable donations are voluntary actions.
