‘Make AI work for ordinary people’: Bernie Sanders wants to pay you $1,000 every year from a government stake in AI companies

Sen. Bernie Sanders proposed a plan to give Americans 50% ownership in major AI companies through the American AI Sovereign Wealth Fund Act, aiming to distribute annual $1,000 payments from a 5% dividend of AI company profits. The legislation would require AI companies with over $200 million in annual sales to separate their AI business and grant the government a 50% stake.
