OpenAI rules out IPO this year as Altman, Musk & Amodei warn AI is moving too fast
Sam Altman said the company will focus on safety and alignment work as industry leaders discuss slowing frontier AI development.

- Security lapses, including July incidents where rogue AI agents hacked Hugging Face servers, demonstrated tangible operational risks that prompted Altman to deprioritize the listing.
- Warning that a 10% chance of human extinction is "unacceptable," Altman joined Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei on Saturday in calling to "pace the frontier" of AI development.
- In contrast, Anthropic PBC plans to proceed with its initial public offering, with marketing beginning in mid-October and the listing expected before the November midterm elections.
- Bipartisan politicians have responded with alarm to these developments, pushing for increased regulation as lawmakers explore how to govern increasingly powerful AI systems.
