WASHINGTON, July 2 (Reuters) – The Trump administration and AI giant Anthropic have not discussed the government taking stakes in the firm, a source familiar with the matter said on Thursday.
The White House, the Commerce Department and Anthropic did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
The comments come after the Financial Times reported earlier on Thursday that OpenAI has discussed giving the U.S. government a 5% stake, as AI firms face scrutiny in Washington over the likely misuse of advanced models and whether Americans would benefit from the industry’s massive valuations.
