🗣JD Vance says the US may want a stake in AI giants
Vice President JD Vance just floated one of the most unexpected AI policy ideas yet: the US government taking ownership stakes in major AI companies.
During a podcast appearance, Vance responded positively to a proposal that workers should share in AI wealth creation, saying President Trump “likes that idea too.” Instead of directly giving workers shares, Vance suggested a sovereign wealth fund that could own stakes in leading AI firms.
Why? Vance argues that AI’s biggest danger isn’t mass unemployment, it’s mass inequality.
