Sanders proposes an AI sovereign wealth fund to distribute AI's economic gains more equitably. Schneier agrees this is urgent — in his blog and forthcoming book 'Rewiring Democracy,' he argues that preventing billionaire-concentrated control of AI is among the most pressing threats to global democracy today.
