[Altman said OpenAI will not go public in 2026] On September 12, local time, according to media reports, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said that OpenAI will not conduct an initial public offering (IPO) in 2026. In an interview with Fortune magazine, he said that given the many developments surrounding artificial intelligence security issues, "now is not a suitable time to go public" and the company currently has no pressure to go public. Altman said that compared with promoting the IPO, OpenAI still has a lot of work to complete, including meeting requirements related to artificial intelligence safety and alignment, and exploring how to cooperate between industry and government. Altman also hinted that OpenAI and other leading artificial intelligence companies may be close to an agreement to slow down the development of AI and jointly deal with security risks. On the same day, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei also called on AI companies to advance model research and development in a more prudent manner, and said that the speed of improving AI model capabilities should be slowed down. Altman later responded that he agreed with the need to control the pace of cutting-edge artificial intelligence development, which has also been one of the key issues discussed internally at OpenAI in recent weeks.
