OpenAI Proposes 5% Government Stake in Early Talks With US Administration: FT
OpenAI has reportedly proposed granting the U.S. government a 5% equity stake as part of early discussions with the Trump administration, according to the Financial Times. The proposal is aimed at aligning AI development with public interests and easing political concerns over the technology's rapid growth. The discussions remain preliminary, and no agreement has been reached. The plan could potentially be extended to other leading U.S. AI companies, though it remains unclear whether they would support such a move.
