Trump’s AI nationalization proposal reportedly originated from Sam Altman

Trump’s AI nationalization proposal reportedly originated from Sam Altman Donald Trump’s recent discussions about taking a government stake in AI companies were reportedly influenced by Sam Altman, who first introduced the idea to Trump in early 2025. According to sources, leading AI firms were unaware of these plans and only discovered them through media coverage. Anthropic, one such company, confirmed it has not held discussions with government representatives about this proposal. Reports indicate that Altman has been privately advocating for a nationalization approach over the past year and has recently revisited the topic with senior officials. No official statements from AI companies regarding collaboration have been issued at this time. 📰 @aipost
