Comment by John deVadoss

Public ownership of artificial intelligence assets can broaden participation in technological gains without correcting the market power, data appropriation, and deployment harms that determine those gains. This paper develops the Public AI Wealth Fund proposed by deVadoss in August 2025 as an integrated public economics design. The fund acquires diversified stakes across the AI stack through subsidy-linked warrants and specified levies, preserves contributed principal, and pays universal dividends from realized returns.
