OpenAI Proposes Transferring a Stake to the U.S. President's Office — FT
OpenAI, the developer of the popular ChatGPT chatbot, has proposed transferring 5% of its shares to the direct control of the U.S. President’s administration.
According to the company’s leadership, this decision is a strategic step toward establishing partnerships between artificial intelligence developers and government agencies.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman believes that this distribution of shares is the best way to share with the government all the benefits of the rapid development of artificial intelligence technologies.
According to Altman’s plan, these shares are to be transferred to a special government fund, which will subsequently receive and distribute dividends.
OpenAI is inviting other AI developers to join this initiative and follow its example.
This applies to both publicly traded corporations and private companies that have not yet conducted an initial public offering (IPO). It remains unclear whether anyone else supports a similar proposal.
Analysts note that such a move could significantly help in building constructive relations with the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump.
Recently, the administration has been exerting increasing pressure on technology companies working in the field of artificial intelligence development, in an effort to tighten control over this sector.
This is reported by the Financial Times.
