OpenAI IPO Will Not Happen in 2026 Amid AI Safety Fears, Altman Says
Sam Altman said OpenAI is delaying its listing to focus on safety work and readiness as lawmakers and researchers push for tighter AI rules.
- On Saturday, CEO Sam Altman confirmed that OpenAI will not launch an IPO in 2026, citing the need to prioritize safety and alignment work before pursuing a public listing.
- Discussions between Altman and Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei regarding the need to "pace the frontier" prompted the decision, with both leaders agreeing to slow AI model capability improvements.
- "Right now would be an ill-advised moment to go public," Altman told Fortune, citing safety concerns. OpenAI CFO Sarah Friar previously told employees the company expects to be public in 2027 or sooner.
- While OpenAI delays its listing, rival Anthropic is reportedly planning an IPO in November before U.S. midterm elections, as politicians from both parties increasingly call for new AI regulations.
- Altman suggested OpenAI and other leading AI companies may soon announce a joint agreement to slow development and address safety risks before pursuing future public offerings.
