US Government possibly to take stakes in AI company in the coming weeks similar to Intel

US President Donald Trump is planning to meet the bosses of some of the country's most notable artificial intelligence (AI) companies to discuss the government taking a financial stake in their future.

Speaking on Air Force One, Trump said the goal of the US government investing in AI companies was to "create almost a partnership with the American public".

He expects to meet leaders of major AI companies at the White House - likely next week.

Although the president did not name specific companies, the biggest companies in the US working on AI are Google, Microsoft, OpenAI, SpaceX and Anthropic - the latter two of which are expected to [go public](https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cvgz237n40jo) in the [coming weeks](https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c0k203kzp10o).

Trump compared the prospective investment in AI to the US government last year [taking a 10% stake in Intel](https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cvg3zpdl3xdo), a company that makes computer chips. He claimed the US has already made money on that investment.

"We're talking about it,"Trump said, referring to conversations with AI leaders "where the American people can benefit from the success of AI, the American people will like it better".
