Sam Altman wants US govt to own 5% of OpenAI; urges Google, Anthropic to follow

OpenAI’s Sam Altman reportedly proposed giving the US government a 5% stake in the company, alongside similar stakes from other AI giants like Google and Meta. This initiative aims to ease political tensions and broadly share AI’s economic benefits, drawing parallels to Alaska’s oil wealth fund. The move comes amid increasing government scrutiny of AI’s impact on jobs and cybersecurity.
