Bernie Sanders proposes 50% tax on large AI firms to create public sovereign wealth fund
By
Ashley Belanger
Summary
Bernie Sanders has proposed legislation to create a sovereign wealth fund financed by a 50% tax on the stock of the largest AI companies (those with $200M+ in annual AI sales). The plan aims to transfer trillions from leading AI firms to the public, giving Americans more control over the AI industry. The fund would be a public ownership vehicle, similar to sovereign wealth funds in other countries, allowing citizens to benefit from AI industry profits.
