Senator Sanders Calls for Public Half‑Ownership of AI Companies

Senator Bernie Sanders introduced a proposal targeting AI industry ownership. The plan calls for the public to hold a 50 percent stake in AI companies. Sanders argues the measure would democratize AI’s economic benefits. The proposal focuses on major developers of artificial intelligence. He contends current ownership concentrates wealth among a few. The initiative seeks broader public participation in AI profits. The suggestion has sparked debate among lawmakers. Upcoming hearings may shape the future of the policy.
