U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders announced a plan for the public to take a 50% ownership stake in AI companies, remembers the Associated Press.
And then OpenAI's Sam Altman "told Sanders that he, too, wants the public to have equity in AI companies."
Though the CEO said he couldn't support Sanders' threshold of 50%, he nonetheless wanted to work with him to advocate for the general idea, according to people with knowledge of the conversation. The nearly hourlong meeting in Sanders' Senate office this week, held at Altman's request, highlighted the inherent tension between AI powerhouses and policymakers as Americans are increasingly asked to accept the costs of the AI boom even as they remain unconvinced of its direct benefits.
Yet it's also creating odd political bedfellows fueled by populism as politicians from Sanders to President Donald Trump embrace giving the public a stake in AI's growth. Speaking to reporters on Air Force One on Friday, Trump described a potential partnership "where the American people can benefit from the success of AI" and said executives from leading AI companies will visit the White House, "probably next week," to discuss the idea.
The article points out that Altman also met with congressional leaders from both of America's political parties.

Some quotes from Max Verstappen, second on the grid in his Red Bull: “Try not to overthink it too much, that works best. We will try to do the best start we can. It is a long race, anything can happen. It is not always easy and I hope today, we can have a normal start.”
Lewis Hamilton has appeared fresh and full of his previous self.
The car has repeatedly demonstrated how good it is in the slower corners but has struggled with drag on straights and in using a smaller turbocharger than their rivals. It has proved costly on traditional circuits this season where, even when competitive at the off, the Ferrari has been unable to match the Mercedes’ formidable race pace, or that of the upgraded McLaren.
Ferrari’s pace through the twists – Hamilton was quickest in the slow speed corners at the last round in Canada – and that smaller turbo will be vital in Monaco. Energy management should not be an issue with ample recharging, while the smaller turbo will enable it to remain spooled up to be most effective in punching quicker out of the corners.

In terms of how Cobolli beats Zverev, Coach Calv gets in touch to let us know: “Cobolli is a quality player. No stand out weaknesses. He can live with Zverev off the ground and even beat him. The men’s game now they all play the same. There isn’t much tactically. They’re all baseline ball strikers and it’s just whoever hits it better. It’s a grim reality of the game.”
This is a great stat: Zverev is the first player since Mats Wilander in 1988 whose opponent in the round of 16, quarter-finals, semi-finals and final had never reached that stage before. Or, in other words, this tournament could not have gone more in his favour and, though he’s not played especially close to his best, he’s been more than good enough for those he’s faced.

Dat vertelde de 40-jarige Nederlander na afloop van zijn slotronde op het KLM Open in Badhoevedorp. De tweevoudig winnaar zei zaterdag na een slechte derde ronde dat hij overwoog zijn caddie te vervangen. "Daar leer ik van en dat zal ik in de toekomst anders doen", zei hij een dag later.
"Ik had dat natuurlijk niet moeten zeggen", keek Luiten zondag terug op de situatie. "Ik had hem niet voor de bus moeten gooien. Dat gebeurt in de frustratie en emotie na zo'n ronde. Je krijgt een paar rotvragen en dan geef je weleens een rotantwoord. Maar jullie hadden nu wel wat te schrijven", voegde hij glimlachend toe.
