US President Donald Trump is planning to meet with leaders of top artificial intelligence (AI) companies to discuss the government taking a financial stake in their future. Speaking on Air Force One, Trump stated that the goal is to "create almost a partnership with the American public" by investing in AI companies.
While specific companies were not named, the biggest US AI players include Google, Microsoft, OpenAI, SpaceX, and Anthropic. The latter two are expected to go public soon. Trump compared this potential investment to the US government's 10% stake in Intel last year, claiming it has already turned a profit.
Part of the motivation is to improve Americans' increasingly negative views of AI. Trump believes that by giving the public a direct financial stake, they will be more supportive of the technology. He expects to meet with AI leaders at the White House as early as next week.
