US government could take stakes in major AI companies

The US government is weighing a proposal to take stakes in leading artificial intelligence providers. President Donald Trump confirmed the report during a press briefing, stating he will meet with AI developers at the White House next week. The proposal involves OpenAI donating equity to the government, which would be used to finance an investment vehicle for Americans to share in AI profits. The details of the initiative are still in flux, with unclear stakes and returns.
