On July 3, Reuters revealed, based on sources close to the issue, that the Trump administration and AI firm Anthropic have not yet initiated discussions concerning government equity participation. This comes after a report by the UK's Financial Times indicated that OpenAI had considered relinquishing a 5% stake to the U.S. government, prompting speculation about whether other AI companies would adopt a similar approach. At present, AI companies are under heightened government scrutiny, with particular attention being paid to the risks associated with model misuse and whether the general public can reap the benefits of the industry's valuation. Earlier, the U.S. Department of Commerce had imposed export restrictions on two of Anthropic's leading models, but these limitations have since been removed.
