Sam Altman says OpenAI is delaying its IPO past 2026, citing AI safety concerns and the need to wait for the right moment rather than rushing to capitalize on market conditions. The company had previously targeted late 2026 but is now aiming for 2027 or later.
- Altman explicitly ruled out a 2026 IPO, saying it would be "ill-advised" given current safety discussions in the AI industry
- OpenAI will go public only when "the business is ready" and societal conditions around AI technology align, not on a fixed timeline
- The New York Times reported the company had already hired bankers and lawyers for a 2026 IPO but shifted expectations to 2027 due to tech stock volatility and OpenAI's own financial challenges
