Ars Technica·Friday, 3 July 2026
OpenAI is in active talks with the Trump administration to offer the US government a 5% stake in the company. This is far below a target reportedly set by Senator Bernie Sanders. Sam Altman is said to be personally involved in the negotiations.
Why It Matters
OpenAI's tools — ChatGPT, Codex, APIs — are widely used by Indian developers, startups, and enterprises. A US government stake could mean tighter export controls or policy restrictions on who gets access.
