OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is reportedly pitching a proposal that would give the U.S. government a 5% equity stake in the artificial intelligence company. Decrypt described the proposed share as being worth $42 billion.

The proposal matters because it would give the federal government a direct ownership interest in one of the leading AI companies. If adopted more broadly, the idea could also reshape the relationship between Washington and the private companies developing major AI systems.
Altman reportedly wants every major AI company to offer the government a comparable stake, rather than limiting the arrangement to OpenAI.
The report does not establish that the U.S. government has accepted the proposal or that other AI companies have agreed to participate. For now, it remains a reported pitch from Altman.
