Bernie Sanders

“Both Steve Bannon on the right and Bernie Sanders on the left have attacked AI as a threat to working people.”

“Progressives led by Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep. Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez have been at the front of the pack.”

“Sen. Bernie Sanders has proposed legislation requiring the U.S. government to take a 50% equity stake in any company with $200M+ in annual AI revenue, covering not just model companies but also "data centers, AI compute infrastructure, AI services, and advanced robotics."”

“"Do these companies dilute existing investors, such as 401(k) managers and public pension funds? And, if so, isn't that taking from the same average Americans this bill is designed to help?"”

“Senator Bernie Sanders...Proposing legislation requiring 50% public ownership stake in major AI companies via a sovereign wealth fund...arguing that because AI is built on humanity's collective knowledge, its wealth should flow into a sovereign wealth fund that benefits ordinary Americans.”

“Sen. Bernie Sanders (D-Vt.) yesterday proposed the creation of a U.S. sovereign wealth fund that would receive half the share capital of Big AI companies.”

“Sanders 'introduced the Abolish Super PACs Act and warned at a press conference unveiling the bill about the growing influence of AI super PACs.'”

“[Calling on Washington] "to collaborate with China on AI, breaking from a bipartisan approach that frames AI development as a race between the two countries."”
