Bernie Sanders’ AI sovereign wealth fund plan is good. But we think this is better | Nathan E Sanders and Bruce Schneier

While we do not outright oppose the taking of AI company stock, or of a US a sovereign wealth fund, there are better ways to achieve the senator’s goals Let no one accuse Bernie Sanders of ducking the big questions.

Why this matters: Students have little say in whether their schools share their data with third-party vendors, making robust regulatory enforcement a primary safeguard. The order's data minimization and deletion requirements acknowledge that limiting collection in the first place reduces exposure when security measures inevitably fall short.
