On Friday, Trump acknowledged that Sanders’ proposal had resonated with some of his own voters, and suggested the idea would quell American voters’ growing animosity towards AI. “You make them a partnership in this revolution,” he said. “It would be a beautiful thing.”
Donald Trump says US may take equity stakes in AI companies
The idea of a government stake in the companies gained momentum in recent days after progressive Senator Bernie Sanders said he would propose a bill to impose a one-off, 50 per cent tax on AI labs’ stock and use the proceeds to create a US sovereign wealth fund.

its proposed Cloud and AI Development Act would require European governments to conduct “sovereignty risk assessments” of cloud providers on a four-tier system; the more critical a sector, the greater the assurances demanded from providers on whether their cloud services, data operations and infrastructure are under EU control.
Europe’s tightrope walk on tech sovereignty
Critics counter that they could still be subject to the US Cloud Act, which allows law enforcement to demand data from US tech company servers even overseas, and vulnerable to White House strong-arming.

latest US national security strategy makes clear Washington is ready to use its tech supremacy to exert leverage just as it has used its financial dominance in recent decades.

And European governments and companies fret that, in a dog-eat-dog world, the Trump administration might suspend access to vital US tech services as a tool of pressure

insufficient,” wrote Pope Leo XIV in a 40,000-word essay on AI last month. “It must be disarmed.” A new tune by Charli XCX, a British pop star, captures both the papal and the popular mood: “Spring, Summer ‘26/When the world is gonna end, no hope for any of it/Yeah, we’re walkin’ on a runway that goes straight to hell.”
American capitalism has taken an apocalyptic turn
Apocalyptic thinking is the strongest impulse in American capitalism today. Elon Musk, a character who could be straight from Mackay’s pages, will soon float SpaceX, a rocket company whose professed mission is to avert existential threats to humanity by establishing a colony on Mars. Mr Musk is America’s richest capitalist in part because he is its loudest Cassandra.

We want to be sure that in the critical fields we are always able to control the services and control the data in Europe," she told reporters.

If we want an A.I. that serves the public good, we need to define the public goods that A.I. can serve and create the conditions under which A.I. can be useful.
There’s Something Else We Should Be Worrying About
Right now, we’re seeing promising pilot projects. Microsoft and the U.S. Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory worked together on a project that used A.I. to analyze more than 32 million materials to discover an electrolyte that might improve lithium-ion batteries. But projects like these are a sideshow right now as the A.I. giants chase the guaranteed revenues of corporate clients. Only public funding has the possibility to bend the industry toward public problems.
There’s Something Else We Should Be Worrying About
OpenAI just released, and what you’ll see is that the A.I. system was able to combine two of A.I.’s strengths to achieve the result: One was a vast knowledge of existing mathematics, such that it could apply a different branch of the discipline to the problem. The other was the ability to attempt possibilities that would have been too laborious for human mathematicians to try.
There’s Something Else We Should Be Worrying About
The AlphaFold advance was possible only because of the Protein Data Bank, a laboriously created database of protein structures that the National Science Foundation began funding in the 1970s. No Protein Data Bank, no AlphaFold.

When A.I. is pointed at the right problem, in the right way, the results can be remarkable

But there is another policy conversation that is strangely absent: How does A.I. benefit the public?
There’s Something Else We Should Be Worrying About
The future of A.I. and the fate of humanity must not be decided behind closed doors in Silicon Valley. It must not be dictated by billionaires seeking to maximize their power and profit. It must be decided by workers, parents, teachers, artists, scientists, communities and the American people. It’s our future. We must decide it.
Opinion | Bernie Sanders: A.I. Belongs to the People, Not to Billionaires
Or will the future of humanity be determined by a handful of billionaires who have promoted and developed A.I., with virtually no democratic input, who stand to become even richer and more powerful than they are today?
