Automation is part of the future, and Bill Gates is already thinking about what that means for our government.

"Right now if a human worker does, you know, $50,000 worth of work in a factory, that income is taxed. If a robot comes in to do the same thing, you'd think that we'd tax the robot at a similar level," Gates said.
