Bernie Sanders Proposes Government Ownership of AI Companies Amid Industry Debates

Senator Bernie Sanders has proposed that the U.S. government should own 50 percent of artificial intelligence companies, a move that has sparked debate about government involvement in private industries. Sanders' proposal follows his previous suggestion to ban the construction of data centers, which would limit AI development. The idea of government ownership aligns with some bipartisan discussions, including past executive orders by President Trump regarding sovereign wealth funds. Sanders argues that government ownership could fund welfare programs, while critics warn it may deter investment and innovation.

President Trump Signs Executive Order for AI Model Vetting to Address National Security Risks

President Donald Trump has signed an executive order aimed at overseeing the national security risks associated with advanced artificial intelligence (AI) systems. This order establishes a framework for the federal government to review these AI systems for up to 30 days before their public release. The initiative is voluntary for AI developers and is intended to ensure that the deployment of AI technologies does not compromise national security. The order follows a previously postponed White House ceremony due to concerns about maintaining the U.S.'s technological edge. The directive involves collaboration with major U.S.-based tech companies, including Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google, which are developing cutting-edge AI systems. The White House emphasized that the process is not intended to oversee all new models, as such oversight could hinder innovation.
