    Tagesschau reports Germany’s governing coalition is discussing taxing revenue created by AI. CDU figures and the digital/economy ministries disagree on timing (tax now vs after growth), and SPD has backed fairer profit taxation without a concrete scheme yet. Primary ministry statements beyond the Tagesschau piece were not re-opened in this run.
