SUMMARY:Is the United States Tax System Favoring Excessive Automation?
DESCRIPTION:As the next wave of information technology matures\, many comme
 ntators worry about the job disruption that automation technology will bri
 ng. In a recent policy brief released by the&nbsp\;MIT Task Force on the W
 ork of the Future\, MIT economist Daron Acemoglu and his co-authors argued
  that the United States currently taxes machinery and equipment too little
  compared to labor\, thereby encouraging excessive automation that elimina
 tes jobs without making the economy more productive. ITIF President Rob At
 kinson has argued in response that automation doesn’t lead to joblessnes
 s and that increasing taxes on automation equipment\, including artificial
  intelligence\, would hurt U.S. competitiveness and reduce real wage growt
 h.ITIF hosted a debate in which Acemoglu and Atkinson laid out their views
  about the future of automation technology and the effects it may have on 
 U.S. competitiveness and the economy.Speakers&nbsp\;Bernie BeckerTax Repor
