OpenAI in talks with White House on possible U.S. government ownership stake

OpenAI has been engaged in discussions with the White House for more than a year about a model that could give the United States government an equity stake in the artificial‑intelligence firm. The talks are part of broader conversations on AI policy, economic growth and maintaining U.S. technological competitiveness, according to reports citing CNBC.

The proposed arrangement would represent a new form of public‑private partnership in the fast‑growing AI sector, though no final decision has been announced.
