Over 2/3 of Americans Support Bernie Sanders-Style AI Stock Ownership Plan, Poll Shows - Gizmodo

The poll surveyed a representative sample of American adults and the results were published by Gizmodo. The exact sample size and margin of error were not disclosed in the article.

The proposed legislation aims to create a public fund that would own a significant stake in major AI companies, potentially distributing dividends to citizens or funding public programs. Sanders has argued that the wealth generated by AI should benefit all Americans, not just corporate shareholders. The poll indicates broad support for the idea across political affiliations, though specific breakdowns by party were not provided.

The poll reflects growing public interest in policies that address the economic impact of AI, though the feasibility and legal implications of such a plan remain uncertain. No legislative action has been taken.
