It is alleged that the artificial intelligence company OpenAI has offered a 5% stake in the company to the US government.
elchi reports that, according to the Financial Times, citing sources close to the matter, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman made this proposal during meetings with the Donald Trump administration, as the company faces significant political pressure in Washington due to safety and regulatory concerns regarding artificial intelligence models.
The report states that, according to Altman, a public financial stake in the company is the best way to share the economic gains of artificial intelligence with society.
Although it is reported that Altman offered a 5% stake in the company to the government, 5% of OpenAI, which has a market valuation of $852 billion, is worth approximately $42.6 billion.
The report also emphasized that Altman has proposed that other US-based artificial intelligence giants transfer similar stakes to the government through a newly created “national sovereign wealth fund.”
It is not yet known whether the Trump administration will accept the share offer.
In April, OpenAI also proposed the creation of a “public welfare fund” to distribute the economic benefits derived from the artificial intelligence sector to the public.
