The Financial Times reported that OpenAI has suggested giving 5% of its shares to the Trump administration to remove political barriers.
Sam Altman says that allocating part of the company's profits to the public is the best way to involve them in AI benefits.
OpenAI is in early talks about a public ownership agreement, while political pressure is mounting. Other U.S. AI firms may also offer similar share transfers.
If the proposal goes through, Trump could become a shareholder in major U.S. AI companies.
