Comment by Sam Altman
CEO at OpenAI
A Public Wealth Fund that provides every citizen—including those not invested in financial markets—with a stake in AI-driven economic growth. A Public Wealth Fund is designed to ensure that people directly share in the upside of that growth. [...] [It would be] seeded in part by AI companies themselves.

Quote attributed to Sam Altman (2026), from OpenAI's "Industrial Policy for the Intelligence Age" (the source_url). Direct fetch returned HTTP 403, but the proposal is corroborated by extensive coverage (The Next Web, Noema, Gizmodo, Axios, TechPolicy.press): OpenAI/Altman propose a Public Wealth Fund "seeded in part by AI companies themselves" giving every citizen a direct stake in AI-driven growth; Altman has elsewhere proposed capitalizing it via a 2.5% annual levy on large companies "payable in shares transferred to the fund." Attribution to Altman (OpenAI CEO and public champion of the document) is appropriate. Year 2026 is current. Vote "for" on "Frontier AI labs should be required to contribute a share of their equity to a global trust that pays a dividend to every person on Earth" aligns directionally — Altman supports AI companies contributing equity to a fund that gives the public a dividend/stake (the OpenAI version is framed nationally rather than globally, but the supportive direction is unambiguous). Verified.
