Your family’s $300 stake in OpenAI
MIT Technology Review AI 1 week ago
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is in talks with President Trump about giving the US government a 5% stake in the company, part of a broader plan to distribute AI wealth to Americans. A 5% stake in OpenAI, valued at $852 billion after its March funding round, would equal approximately $42.6 billion, or roughly $320 per American household if distributed equally. The proposal remains largely theoretical after five years of discussion, but could help OpenAI secure favorable treatment from the Trump administration while addressing public concerns about AI companies' accountability.
