OpenAI in Early Talks to Offer US a 5% Stake, Trump Administration Shows Support

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is reportedly in early-stage negotiations with the Trump administration over the US acquiring a 5 percent stake in the AI company. Altman has argued that a public financial stake is the best way to share the benefits of artificial intelligence. President Donald Trump supports the idea, and his administration has also approached other firms, including Google and Meta, about similar stakes.
