That's actually a great argument: an AI is trained without permission on the result of people's labor, and is thus able to intercept the need for this labor and take away financial opportunities derived thereof. Therefore, An AI's labor and its profit could be argued to contain, in the percentage that an AI is the content of its training, a portion that is proportionately belonging to those who did this labor its obscure process is based on. Therefore, an AI's master should take a portion of its revenue as royalties and distribute them to the "people's council" which in this case is just the government, for it to redistributed accordingly.
i.e. tax the fuck out of the owners, and minimum basic income for all. Completing the economic circle of life.
