Donald Trump to Discuss Giving US Government a Stake in AI Companies

President Donald Trump announced he will convene a meeting with leading artificial‑intelligence firms at the White House next week to explore proposals that could give the United States government, or directly the American public, a share in AI companies. He said the administration is studying ideas to make citizens “partners” in the AI revolution and to allow the public to benefit from the sector’s rapid growth. Trump emphasized that the United States currently leads the global AI race and wants to ensure broader public benefit, but offered no details on the legal or financial mechanisms, noting that the concepts are still under discussion.

The proposed approach would represent a new model of partnership between the private AI sector and the government, potentially shaping how profits and advancements from this fast‑growing industry are distributed in the United States.
