Altman had proposed giving the US government a 5pc stake in the company.
................... the real winner from the arrangement is likely to be Altman. Giving the US public a stake in ChatGPT’s success might turn out to be a masterstroke that is worth the price of admission. .............. AI is facing a growing public backlash amidfears that data centres will drive up power bills and pollute water supplies.
Giving the American taxpayer a stake in OpenAI might be one way to ease this. “It almost becomes a partnership with the American public,” Trump has said. .................. There is no shortage of ways that the US could support OpenAI, from easing up on model testing to cracking down on rivals and pushing through the construction of data centres. .................. Opening the door to public ownership is a tricky balancing act. Who is to say Trump would stop at 5pc? Bernie Sanders has called for the US taxpayer to have a 50pc stake in AI companies, an idea Altman has discussed with the Left-wing senator.
