OpenAI Proposes 5% Government Stake

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has reportedly discussed giving the US government a 5% equity stake in the company. The proposal aims to share AI economic benefits with the public through a sovereign-wealth-style fund. Altman suggested this framework could extend to other major US AI developers, though it remains unclear if firms like Google, Meta, or Anthropic would participate.

These conceptual talks follow increasing regulatory pressure and scrutiny from the Trump administration regarding AI model deployment.
