Who gets a share of AI’s riches? A South China Morning Post opinion piece argues that neither the US nor Asia has a convincing answer, and contrasts two proposals: Anthropic’s public-benefit fund would remain in an entity owned by the company, while Elon Musk’s proposed route is unexplained and would put shares in a child’s name.
Why it mattersThe distinction matters: calling a fund public-minded does not necessarily mean the public owns the companies it benefits from. It is an argument about how AI wealth might be shared, not evidence that either plan gives the public ownership.
Discuss: Should the public own a stake in the companies making AI fortunes, or is there a better way to share the gains?
