AI Verified The PDF at the supplied URL contains this passage in the “Public Wealth Fund” section on page 6, and the omitted text falls exactly between the two quoted fragments, so the excerpt is a faithful ellipsis-based quotation. The PDF is dated April 2026, and OpenAI’s official page for this document lists the author as OpenAI.

Disputed Disputed: the linked OpenAI article/page is attributed to OpenAI, not Sam Altman, and its attached PDF uses different wording. It says "Create a Public Wealth Fund..." and later, "Policymakers and AI companies should work together to determine how to best seed the Fund," rather than the submitted wording "[It would be] seeded in part by AI companies themselves."

AI Verified 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).
