- OpenAI is considering giving a 5% stake to the US government, potentially involving other AI companies, to share AI benefits and improve relations with the Trump administration.
- The proposal, still in early stages, might require congressional approval and could use a public wealth fund, like the Alaska Permanent Fund, to distribute equity to citizens.
- This move follows government pressure on AI firms, with OpenAI and Anthropic eyeing stock market listings that could value each over $1tn, and discussions involving political figures like Trump and Bernie Sanders.
