Comment by Anton Leicht
Visiting scholar at Carnegie Endowment for International Peace; researcher on the political economy of AI
A public wealth fund or a robot tax are far heavier political lifts than simply regulating the industry a bit, and they are not just going to emerge as an organic alternative. On that read, this is comms work to provide cover for regulatory nihilism.

Checked the quote attributed to Anton Leicht (2026) on the statement "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" (vote: against). The source_url (Fortune, 2026-04-06) returned HTTP 403 and could not be fetched directly, but web search confirmed the quote verbatim and matched it to Leicht's commentary (Carnegie Endowment) in that Fortune article critiquing OpenAI's "New Deal" policy proposals. Author attribution correct, year (2026) current. Vote alignment is correct: Leicht is skeptical/critical of public-wealth-fund and robot-tax style redistribution proposals, calling them "comms work to provide cover for regulatory nihilism" and noting they are far heavier political lifts that won't organically emerge — consistent with an "against" vote on requiring AI labs to fund a global dividend trust. Source URL is a legitimate primary report.
