69% of Americans back public ownership of big AI firms

A Verasight survey of 1,690 US adults found 69% support forcing AI companies to transfer 50% of their stock to a public sovereign wealth fund — the core policy in Bernie Sanders's American AI Sovereign Wealth Fund Act. The shift in public opinion tracks a labor market where tech accounted for nearly a third of US layoffs in H1 2026, while the same firms raised AI capital spending. Goldman Sachs estimates up to 15 million workers could be displaced over a decade-long AI transition. Critics argue forced equity transfers would chill investment and drive AI development offshore, and that survey wording inflates support. Sanders's bill is unlikely to pass this Congress, but the polling signals a meaningful shift in the Overton window — from debating whether AI takes jobs to debating who gets the gains.
