Meta shrugs off Trump’s idea for government ownership of AI

Meta dismisses President Donald Trump's proposal for the U.S. government to take a financial stake in leading AI companies. Meta's chief global affairs officer, Joel Kaplan, stated the company focuses on policy collaboration to advance AI development rather than public equity partnerships. Trump's idea, which aims to give the public a share of AI-generated wealth, faces skepticism from Meta but has support from some OpenAI executives and Senator Bernie Sanders.
