OpenAI to Face Lawsuit Over 5% Share of ChatGPT’s Profits to the US

• OpenAI is negotiating with the US for a 5% share of the company’s gross profits
• The provisions could allow any American company, but not just Anthropic, Google, and Meta
• However, it turns out that for the realisation of these provisions, it may be necessary to rush to the idea of a lawsuit in the US

OpenAI, the ChatGPT company, is negotiating to hand over to the US 5% of the company’s profits. According to a filing, which was obtained by Financial Times, the company is proposing to share 5% of its gross profits with the US.

In the filing, the provisions state that any American company operating on the sphere of AI may be required to pay a 5% share. However, it is unclear who will be required to pay, for example, Anthropic, Google and Meta.

The general director of OpenAI, Sam Altman, as FT writes, argues that the idea is to ensure that the financial share is distributed in a way that would benefit the US. He also said that the company, OpenAI and Anthropic, are looking at ways to profit from public funding.

According to CNN, OpenAI’s 5% share could be taken from other sources of funding, and could amount to $42.6 billion. The filing also states that OpenAI does not plan to comment on the matter.

According to The Guardian, Altman’s critics argue that the largest US company in Alaska Permanent Fund, which holds the largest investment in US companies, could be required to pay 5% of profits to the fund.

In the same vein, it is said that the provisions would be “a complete disaster” for the future, and for the realisation of the idea, the company could be required to pay a share. In particular, it is stated that OpenAI, Anthropic, and other companies could be required to publish their financial results in order to determine the share.

The idea is to ensure that AI companies operating in the US are required to share profits. The proposal by Anthropic’s CEO, which is said to be a new model, is to ensure that the company will be able to profit from the US market. It is also said that the company’s plan is to prevent financial losses by sharing profits with the US.

In addition, it is noted that Altman is negotiating with Trump, and this is also from the perspective of the US financial system. It is also said that the plan is to ensure that the share is paid to the largest companies in the US.
