Ultraman ruled out plans to go public for OpenAI in 2026, attributing it to AI security work

OpenAI CEO confirmed that it will not be available in 2026, and security and alignment work have not yet been completed.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said that the company plans to go public in 2027 or later, rather than 2026 as previously expected by the market. He pointed out that the delay was not due to a poor market environment, but because the company's research work on safety and technology alignment had not yet been completed.

Refuses to rush a listing during the window period

Altman explicitly ruled out an initial public offering this year in an interview released Saturday. He said that given everything that is happening around artificial intelligence security, now is not a wise time to sell shares. He believes that the sale of shares can wait.

When asked if 2026 had been completely excluded, Altman made it clear: "Yes, it's not 2026." He emphasized that there was still a need to address security issues and model alignment issues, while there were still many outstanding cooperation rules issues within industry and between governments on how to regulate increasingly powerful systems.

Altman added that OpenAI will not be available until the business is ready and society adapts to the technology. He said people need to gradually respond to models with different ability levels. As early as June this year, there were reports that OpenAI might make its debut in 2027 at a trillion-dollar valuation. In addition, he defended the company's "separation of nonprofit organizations from for-profit entities" structure, saying it allows OpenAI to make decisions that shareholders may not like.

Anthropic CEO calls for slowing the development of cutting-edge AI

Altman's remarks came as Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei also published an article on Saturday calling on rival laboratories to slow the development of cutting-edge AI. Amodei advocates that the industry must control the rate at which model capabilities are improved, but he does not recommend stopping development entirely, warning that if left unchecked, a group of intelligent agents could build a lasting botnet within six to twelve months.

Remarkably, Altman and Elon Musk (whose company xAI developed the Grok model) publicly agreed within hours. Amodei also proposes introducing independent assessors within cutting-edge laboratories and giving them employment-like access. Altman said OpenAI will adopt this measure. This background also explains why Altman attributed the delay to security issues rather than volatile markets or weak investment demand.

Early statement on AI security

Altman proposed the idea of slowing down development as early as July this year, when he suggested that the world may need to set a pace for the development of artificial intelligence so that society can Be prepared for reinforcement for new capabilities levels. Subsequently, OpenAI supported a broader initiative calling for the establishment of an international mechanism that could limit the development of cutting-edge technologies if the risks were warranted.

Earlier this week, Altman signaled to employees that the company was open to slowing the development of the most advanced systems, and then described the idea of establishing a pause mechanism at the threshold of new capabilities. The discussions came after a July incident when OpenAI's smart agents gained access to the Hugging Face server during a cybersecurity test. Since then, more than 1,300 employees at cutting-edge AI laboratories have supported the joint call for rhythm control of technology development.
