With the market capitalization of AI companies soaring, US Senator Bernie Sanders is looking to give the American people a piece of the action. The veteran senator for Vermont has introduced the American AI Sovereign Wealth Fund Bill, aiming to give the public a 50 percent ownership in the largest AI companies in the US. It’s a timely move with both OpenAI and Anthropic preparing for the imminent IPOs. Sanders is not the only one pondering such a move. As the bill notes, OpenAI has proposed the creation of a “Public Wealth Fund” giving citizens a stake in “AI-driven economic growth,” while Anthropic has proposed a sovereign wealth fund to “shape the sector’s behavior.” President Trump’s advisors are also contemplating the possibility of the government grabbing a stake in major AI corporations, according to media reports. Sovereign wealth funds are not a new idea: Many administrations across the world have implemented them, notably Norway which has about $2 trillion in its wealth fund.

An IT executive changing jobs usually attracts little attention outside a narrow group of people, but Noam Shazeer’s move from Google to OpenAI is as momentous as any high-value soccer transfer. He announced the news in a post on X: “I’m excited to share that I’ll be joining OpenAI and look forward to working with the exceptional team there.” Shazeer initially achieved fame as one of the eight co-authors of the influential AI paper Attention Is All You Need, published when he was working at Google Brain.

That company achieved notoriety when it was sued by a grieving mother, who alleged that a Character.AI chatbot had contributed to her son’s death by suicide. The company subsequently settling out of court. Shaze
