Trump Eyes Government Stake in Top AI Firms

President Trump is considering taking a government stake in leading artificial intelligence companies, including OpenAI, as part of a broader plan for the US to profit from AI development. Meetings with AI industry leaders are expected as soon as next week to discuss the proposal. The discussions come amid growing debate over AI ownership and public benefit. Senator Bernie Sanders has separately argued that AI should be treated as a public resource, with citizens entitled to a share of its gains.
