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. Sanders is not the only one pondering such a move. As the bill notes, OpenAI has proposed the creation of a “Public Wealth Fund” giving citizens a stake in “AI-driven economic growth,” while Anthropic has proposed a sovereign wealth fund to “shape the sector’s behavior.” President Trump’s advisors are also contemplating the possibility of the government grabbing a stake in major AI corporations, according to media reports. Sovereign wealth funds are not a new idea: Many administrations across the world have implemented them, notably Norway which has about $2 trillion in its wealth fund.
