With the market capitalization of AI companies soaring, US Senator Bernie Sanders is looking to give the American people a piece of the action.
The veteran senator for Vermont has introduced the American AI Sovereign Wealth Fund Bill, aiming to give the public a 50 percent ownership in the largest AI companies in the US. It’s a timely move with both OpenAI and Anthropic preparing for the imminent IPOs.

The company subsequently settling out of court.
