We don't have to be passengers in the AI revolution, we can be drivers. Right now, policy is focused on speeding up AI adoption, but not on where it's taking us. Without a clearer direction, we risk ending up with more inequality, more concentrated power, and benefits that never reach most people.

Quote confirmed via web search of IPPR's April 2026 report/press release (ippr.org, the source URL — primary source). The page returned HTTP 403 to direct fetch, but the passages "We don't have to be passengers in the AI revolution, we can be drivers" and "Without a clearer direction, we risk ending up with more inequality, more concentrated power, and benefits that never reach most people" were corroborated verbatim and attributed to Carsten Jung. Author attribution correct (IPPR Associate Director for Economic Policy and AI). Year 2026 correct. Vote "for" aligns with statement "The economic gains from frontier AI should be shared with every person on Earth" — Jung explicitly argues against AI benefits being concentrated and never reaching most people, advocating broad distribution of AI's gains.
