Summary
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has proposed giving Americans equity stakes in major AI companies as compensation for the human-generated work (books, movies, art) that AI learns from without payment, and as a potential safety net against job losses from AI. If a 5% stake in OpenAI were distributed equally among American households, each would receive about $320 in equity, though details remain vague and the proposal has not yet become concrete policy.
