US Govt Eyes OpenAI Co-Founding: AI Investment Fund Proposed

The US government might become a co-founder of OpenAI. Negotiations are ongoing with the administration of President Donald Trump about state participation in the artificial intelligence giant's capital. These discussions have been happening for over a year. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman first proposed this idea to the White House in 2025. What's interesting is that OpenAI could transfer a portion of its stake to the state, forming a special investment fund. This fund would invest in long-term AI development, aiming to let US citizens benefit from the sector's economic growth. One scenario even suggests distributing some of the fund's income among the population. President Trump has confirmed that various options are being considered for Americans to become partners in technological development. This matters because it could change how citizens benefit from major tech advancements.
