Comment by Jacob Taylor
Fellow at Brookings Institution's Center for Sustainable Development; 2025 Public AI Fellow
The majority of AI development and deployment is controlled by a small number of powerful firms. If this path continues, the next generation of digital infrastructure underpinning our societies will be privately owned and unaccountable to the public interest. We need Public AI: shared, open AI infrastructure — much like highways, electricity grids, and public broadcasting — that is publicly responsible and harnessed to solve collective problems.Disputed source (2025)

Disputed: the source URL contains similar prose, but not the stored quote verbatim. On the page, the text begins "Today, the majority..." and then says that Jacob Taylor and Joshua Tan "make the case for Public AI," so the wording is part of an episode summary featuring multiple individuals, not an exact quotation attributed to Jacob Taylor alone. The page is also dated 26 January 2026, not 2025. This platform cannot verify it as a single-author quote. ([commons.ungeneva.org](https://commons.ungeneva.org/node/247))

The quote is not verbatim from the cited URL. That page, dated January 26, 2026, says “Today, the majority...” and later says Jacob Taylor and Joshua Tan “make the case for Public AI...”; it does not say “We need Public AI,” and it attributes the idea to both speakers, not to Jacob Taylor alone. The related Project Syndicate article, “Public AI Is the New Multilateralism” (October 20, 2025), is also co-authored by Jacob Taylor and Joshua Tan and does not contain the submitted wording.
