What you are describing is more-or-less a planned economy, the polar opposite of America's market economy. The government has the power to appropriate things for the common good because it's perceived that private enterprise isn't a necessary force. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't; only certain countries can "moneyball" their way through economics like that, though. America has long since passed the point of even trying. Your heart is in the right place here (I agree about FOSS), but there is a snowball's chance in hell that any of this ever happens in the USA. We'll be lucky if AI doesn't resemble cable TV by 2030.
