The problem is that the government would be a shareholder and a regulator at the same time, which creates substantial conflicts of interest.

The source_url (notus.org) returned HTTP 403 to automated fetch, but the quote was independently confirmed verbatim via web search. Nat Purser, Senior Policy Advocate for AI policy at Public Knowledge, told NOTUS: "The problem is that the government would be a shareholder and a regulator at the same time, which creates substantial conflicts of interest," in the context of the Trump administration / OpenAI "Public Wealth Fund" proposal for government equity stakes in AI labs. Author attribution is correct. Vote alignment checks out: the statement is "Frontier AI labs should be required to contribute a share of their equity to a national fund that pays a dividend to every citizen," and Purser argues against this kind of government-equity-fund arrangement on conflict-of-interest grounds, so an "against" vote is appropriate. Year 2026 is recent.
