Can you? Or is that wishful thinking attached to hypothetical IP policy?
Attaching costs to technology in an effort to make sure the people from which their jobs where taken by an AI should be able to live from its proceeds is going to slow down advancement at best. There's also a real chance that it pushes investment and usage away from the things that get those people paid (such as public domain training materials), meaning that the whole attempt fails and the people lose their jobs anyway without getting paid.
In my opinion, I'm not conflating these two things by accident. I'm looking at how things are likely to be done and considering probable consequences.
