OpenAI just made an offer that could fundamentally change who controls AI in America — and most people have no idea it happened. The company behind ChatGPT has proposed giving the U.S. federal government a $42.6 billion equity stake, turning Washington from a regulator into a co-owner.
OpenAI's offer would tie the government's financial future directly to the company's performance — sharing both the upside and the risk. The proposal is tied to a formal national AI partnership that would give OpenAI stability, legitimacy, and a seat inside national security conversations, while raising serious questions about whether a government that owns billions in OpenAI stock can still regulate it fairly.
