据FT报道,OpenAI CEO Sam Altman与特朗普政府讨论给予美国政府5%股份,理由包括AI创造财富应让公众分享。背后原因:作为监管保险避免政治僵局;为IPO降低投资者政治风险感知;将华盛顿变为共同受益者以缓解前沿模型发布压力;换取数据中心、能源等基础设施支持。目前讨论尚处早期,需国会批准,其他AI实验室尚未同意跟进。
OpenAI proposes handing Trump administration 5% stake. Heres why:
According to FT, Sam Altman has discussed giving the US government a 5% stake in OpenAI as the $ 852bn startup faces rising scrutiny from Washington.
Sams pitch: if AI creates enormous wealth, the public should own part of the upside.
OpenAI has already proposed a "public wealth fund" that "provides every citizen - including those not invested in financial markets - with a stake in AI-driven economic growth."
The talks are early, may need Congress, and other AI labs have not agreed to mirror the idea.
Imho the real reasons are the following:
Regulatory insurance. A 5 percent stake would probably be cheaper than years of political gridlock, strict release rules, or a later special tax on AI profits.
