OpenAI’s Altman Pitches $300 Stake for Every American
Sam Altman’s plan to give Americans a financial stake in AI wealth is back in the news, with the Financial Times reporting he is in talks to create a fund that would distribute shares worth roughly $300 per person. The proposal aims to address concerns that AI benefits will concentrate among the wealthy. Critics question the feasibility and whether such a small stake would meaningfully offset job displacement.

The $300 figure sounds more like a PR gesture than a serious wealth-sharing mechanism, given the scale of AI’s projected economic impact.
