President Donald Trump said he will likely meet with AI companies at the White House next week to discuss what he called a federal government “partnership” that would allow the American people to profit in their success.

The president said Friday that the program, which could include sending company dividends to Americans, would help secure buy-in from a public that remains skeptical about long-term disruptions — including to the labor market — of the technology.

“There’s a concept out there, there’s so much money and it’s so big that there are concepts where pieces could be given to the American public, where the American public essentially becomes a partner with the companies,” Trump told reporters en route to an unrelated event in Wisconsin. “I have spoken to all of them.”
