Government Eyes Direct Stake in OpenAI as AI Wealth-Sharing Model Takes Shape

This move represents a significant shift in government strategy toward direct ownership of major AI companies, signaling a new era of public-private partnership in the tech sector. As AI companies approach potential public offerings, controlling how AI's economic benefits are captured and distributed has become a central policy priority.
