United StatesOpenAI CEO Sam Altman has proposed donating 5% of the company’s equity to a U.S. sovereign wealth fund, according to a report by the Financial Times. The proposal aims to improve relations with the administration and mitigate political backlash. Similar discussions were previously reported by CNBC in June, and then confirmed by former President Donald Trump, who suggested the idea of making the public a partner with AI companies. The plan remains preliminary and would likely require congressional approval. OpenAI has outlined detailed proposals in a policy paper titled 'Industrial Policy for the Intelligence Age,' suggesting a public wealth fund that could invest in AI labs and distribute returns to citizens. Senator Bernie Sanders introduced a more aggressive version of this idea, proposing a 50% tax on AI company stock for 'systemically important' firms, though his bill has not advanced beyond initial stages.
