"We need regulations that prevent companies from using AI to eliminate jobs to extract greater profits.Artists at these companies need to have a say in how AI is deployed.They should share in the profits. And there should be a tax on mass displacement. https://t.co/uU2tmt8pDJ - Ro Khanna (@RoKhanna) November 14, 2025 In a subsequent post, Khanna shared some proposals from Nobel Laureate Acemoglu, including "tax reforms to discourage excessive automation" and allowing workers and unions to benefit from AI gains rather than being replaced by artificial intelligence."
"Khanna also stressed that he isn't calling for a complete ban on AI. "Innovation and technological advance is patriotic and good for humanity provided it serves people," added Khanna. "So we need to think about how it is adopted and how people can still have meaningful work and independence." That doesn't appear to be the primary sentiment behind AI implementation in the video game industry. PUBG publisher Krafton recently encouraged " voluntary resignations" from employees after declaring itself to be an "AI-first company.""
Activision acknowledged some AI use in Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, including Ghibli-style Calling Cards, while asserting human creative control. Congressman Ro Khanna called for regulations to stop companies from using AI to eliminate jobs for greater profits, demanded that artists have a say and share in profits, and proposed a tax on mass displacement. Khanna cited Daron Acemoglu's proposals such as tax reforms to discourage excessive automation and mechanisms for workers and unions to benefit from AI gains. Khanna emphasized he is not seeking a total AI ban and stressed preserving meaningful work. The video game industry shows examples of aggressive AI adoption, including Krafton labeling itself "AI-first" and encouraging voluntary resignations.
