Trump: U.S. stake in AI giants "could be a beautiful thing"

President Trump proposed the U.S. take a small ownership stake in AI companies to allow the public to benefit from their growth. The idea has been previously advocated by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Sen. Bernie Sanders, who suggested a 50% tax paid in stock for public ownership. Trump emphasized that such a move could improve public perception of AI and ensure U.S. leadership in the field.
