OpenAI: In early talks to give 5% stake to US Government

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is in early-stage talks with the Trump administration about giving a 5% stake in the company to the US government, reportedly modeled after Alaska's sovereign wealth fund. The proposal aims to share AI's economic benefits with the public and improve relations between tech companies and the government, and would potentially involve other major US AI companies like Anthropic and Google making similar contributions. Any deal would require Congressional approval and comes as AI companies face increasing regulatory pressure from Washington.
