AI Should Benefit Everyone, Not Just Tech Billionaires

Artificial intelligence could reshape every part of our lives — but right now, a handful of Big Tech billionaires are trying to control its future.

Senator Bernie Sanders has introduced the American AI Sovereign Wealth Fund Act, legislation that would give the American people a 50% ownership stake in the largest AI companies and create a public fund estimated at $7 trillion. 

The goal is simple: if AI is built on public knowledge, public research, public infrastructure, and the creative work of millions of people, then the public should share in the wealth it creates.

Tell Congress: Pass the American AI Sovereign Wealth Fund Act and make sure AI benefits everyone, not just tech billionaires.

This is not about stopping innovation. It is about making sure innovation serves the public. AI companies are racing to profit from tools trained on humanity’s collective knowledge, while ordinary people face job losses, rising surveillance, and an economy increasingly rigged for the ultra-rich.

Without action, AI could wipe out jobs, invade privacy, deepen inequality, and concentrate even more power in Silicon Valley boardrooms. 

The people most affected — workers, teachers, artists, parents, students, and communities — deserve a say in how this technology is used.

Add your name now and demand Congress pass Senator Sanders’ bill to create an AI sovereign wealth fund for the American people.
