OpenAI CEO Says IPO Will Wait Until AI Models Meet Safety Requirements

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman says the company will not pursue an initial public offering until it can make stronger safety assurances about its increasingly capable AI models.

Speaking after OpenAI’s DevDay event, Altman said the company wants to be able to make confident safety claims as AI capabilities continue to advance.

The comments come amid wider industry discussions about AI security, autonomous agents and the risks associated with increasingly powerful AI systems.
