OpenAI已开始与美国政府进行初步讨论，提议让华盛顿持有该公司5%的股份。执行长乘山姆·乤特曼及其他高管建议，这项安排应扩及所有美国顶尖AI开发商，包括Anthropic、Google及Meta Platforms等公司，但目前尚不清楚其他企业是否会同意此提案。

奥特曼早在2025年便向川普政府提出让政府持有主要AI公司股份的构想，他认为让公众分享AI繁荣带来的利益是最佳做法。与此同时，川普政府对美国AI企业施加越来越大的压力，Anthropic上月因国安考量被要求限制外国人使用其最先进模型，本周华盛顿才解除了对其Fable 5模型的出口限制。

随著AI热潮加剧贫富差距的担忧日益升温，各界对利润分享的呼声也不断攀升。资料中心大规模建设推动晶片商和云端供应商利润飙涨，传统产业却未能同步受惠。川普总统已表达透过政府管理的财富基金持有AI企业股权的兴趣，但政府如何实际取得这些股份仍不明朗，目前政府已投资约十余家公司，并承诺取得英特尔最高10%的股份。

OpenAI has initiated preliminary talks to offer the US government a 5% equity stake in the company. CEO Sam Altman and other executives have proposed a broader framework in which Washington would hold a 5% share in each of the leading US AI developers, potentially including Anthropic, Google, and Meta Platforms, though it remains uncertain whether those companies would agree to such an arrangement.

Altman first floated the idea of government stakes in major AI firms with the Trump administration as early as 2025, arguing that giving the public a share in his company is the best way to distribute the upside of the AI boom. Meanwhile, the Trump administration has been increasing pressure on US AI companies — Anthropic suspended its most capable models last month after a government order to restrict access for foreign nationals on national security grounds, though restrictions on its Fable 5 model were lifted this week.

Growing concerns over AI's impact on jobs and the widening gap between technology winners and the rest of the economy have fueled calls for profit-sharing worldwide. The massive buildout of data centers has driven surging profits for chipmakers and computing providers, while traditional industries have lagged behind. President Trump has expressed interest in a government-run wealth fund to redistribute AI-driven financial gains to the public, though the mechanism for acquiring equity remains unclear; the administration has so far invested in about a dozen companies and pledged up to a 10% stake in Intel.
