Bernie Sanders

Gary Marcus argues it's absurd to claim 'AI belongs to the people' given corporate investment, yet also absurd that generative AI relies on mass intellectual property theft; thus supporting Bernie Sanders' American AI Sovereign Wealth Fund Act for public ownership stakes.

U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders will introduce a bill imposing a one-time 50% stock tax on OpenAI, Anthropic, and xAI, with the government receiving voting shares and board seats, and funding a citizen-owned public fund modeled after Norway’s and Alaska’s sovereign wealth funds.

Gary Marcus expresses skepticism about Bernie Sanders' proposal to nationalize AI companies by decree, arguing current AI cannot generate trillions, but applauds efforts to broaden public discourse on AI governance.

Today's top AI news includes NVIDIA threading agents across the stack, Bernie Sanders proposing a public AI stake bill, turning Claude sessions into reusable skills via daily audit, hackers accessing Instagram accounts through Meta AI, and four new AI tools released.

Bernie Sanders publishes an op-ed in The New York Times arguing that AI should belong to the public, not billionaires, calling for government oversight and equitable access.
