Your family’s $300 stake in OpenAI
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is reportedly discussing with President Trump a proposal to give the US government a 5% stake in OpenAI, which could translate to Americans receiving equity shares. The plan aims to compensate individuals for data used in AI development and create a safety net amid labor market concerns, with estimates suggesting a $320 equity stake per American household if distributed directly.
