OpenAI may give the US government a stake in the company. The US government could invest in OpenAI.
OpenAI is in preliminary talks to give the US government a 5% stake in the company, according to the Financial Times. This proposal comes as the company faces growing government scrutiny of artificial intelligence firms. As we reported on July 2, OpenAI has been navigating discussions with the Trump administration, including a recent delay in the wide release of its latest AI model, GPT-5.6.
The potential stake, worth roughly $42.6 billion, could ease pressure from Washington over the release of AI models to the public. This development is significant as it highlights the complex relationship between tech companies and governments, particularly in the realm of AI regulation.
What to watch next is how these discussions unfold and whether OpenAI's proposal will be accepted by the Trump administration. The outcome of these talks could set a precedent for future collaborations between tech companies and governments, shaping the trajectory of AI development and regulation.
