Why OpenAI wants the US government to own a £31.9 billion stake

  • OpenAI has reportedly proposed giving the US government a 5 per cent stake in the company.
  • The idea is said to be part of wider talks on sharing AI wealth and easing political concerns.
  • The proposal could set a precedent for other leading AI companies if it moves forward.

OpenAI has reportedly proposed giving the US government a 5 per cent equity stake in the company, in what could become one of the most unusual partnerships between Washington and the artificial intelligence industry.

According to the Financial Times, the proposal forms part of early discussions between OpenAI and the Donald Trump administration as political scrutiny of AI companies continues to grow.
