OpenAI and White House discuss government stake

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is in talks with the White House about a possible government stake in the company. The discussions have been ongoing for over a year, with Altman first sharing the idea with the Trump administration in 2025. As part of the potential agreement, OpenAI could donate equity to the U.S. government to seed a Public Wealth Fund. President Donald Trump addressed the talks, saying the American public could become a partner in AI growth.
