It would invest in society alongside the people already benefiting from these rapidly appreciating assets so that when the winners of the AI and technology age win, the country wins with them. [...] A sovereign wealth fund would not replace capitalism. It would extend capitalism’s upside to people the current structure leaves out.AI Verified source (May 22, 2026)

Fortune’s May 22, 2026 commentary page for this URL lists a single author, Steve Brotman, and contains both quoted passages verbatim: the sentence beginning “It would invest in society alongside…” and later “A sovereign wealth fund would not replace capitalism. It would extend capitalism’s upside to people the current structure leaves out.” The omitted middle text is present between those passages, so the ellipsis is acceptable. The stored author, date, source URL, and quote text match the source.

The Fortune op-ed at the cited URL is by Steve Brotman and was published on May 22, 2026, but the submitted quote is not verbatim as presented: the article first says, “It would invest in society … so that when the winners of the AI and technology age win, the country wins with them,” and only later says, “A sovereign wealth fund would not replace capitalism. It would extend capitalism’s upside to people the current structure leaves out.” Because the excerpt reverses the original order with an ellipsis, it is a materially altered composite.

Verified via web search. Fortune blocks WebFetch (403), but a targeted web search confirms the article exists at the given URL (Fortune, May 22, 2026, by Steve Brotman, founder/MD of Alpha Partners) and contains the phrasing about a sovereign wealth fund extending capitalism's upside. Author attribution matches the bio. Vote 'for' on 'The economic gains from frontier AI should be shared with every person on Earth' aligns with the quote, which argues for a US sovereign wealth fund so that ordinary citizens share in AI/tech wealth creation. Year 2026 is current.
