U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders, a senior member of Congress, wrote in The New York Times that the data used to train artificial intelligence are the crystallization of humanity's collective experience, knowledge, and wisdom—yet have been "stolen" by tech oligarchs and fed into their AI models without permission or compensation. Given this reality, the wealth generated by artificial intelligence must benefit all of humanity—not just tech giants or venture capitalists. To achieve this, he is set to introduce the American Artificial Intelligence Sovereign Wealth Fund Act, proposing a one-time 50% tax to establish a sovereign wealth fund that would grant the public direct ownership stakes in major U.S. AI companies. Its objectives are twofold: first, to enable the public to directly participate in shaping the future of AI technology; second, to ensure that the trillions of dollars in potential wealth created by AI are used to improve lives for everyone—not merely enrich the already wealthy.
