A Verasight survey found that 69% of Americans support a public wealth fund that would require AI companies to transfer 50% of their stock to government control. Multiple outlets including CNBC and The Next Web reported the finding, which reflects growing public concern over tech layoffs and AI company valuations. The post uses the word 'seizing' which is more dramatic than the survey's phrasing of 'transfer to a public fund,' but the core claim — that a majority supports this policy — is verified by the poll data.
