US should take 50% stake in major AI firms, says Bernie Sanders

▤ Summary

This article covers Bernie Sanders’ proposal for a federal sovereign wealth-style stake in major U.S. AI companies. The bill would fund public ownership through a tax on AI firms and new stock issuance. It comes as OpenAI and Anthropic move toward IPO-related discussions and as policymakers debate whether the public should share in AI-driven gains. The story centers on regulation, ownership, and the economics of AI rather than a specific corporate event.
