OpenAI CEO Sam Altman stated that the company will not go public in 2026, calling it an "ill-advised moment" to do so given current discussions around AI safety. Altman indicated that OpenAI will go public "when we're ready, which is when the business is ready, when we feel ready from what the moment is like in society with this technology." He confirmed that an IPO is unlikely in 2026, citing "a lot of stuff to do." This follows a June report from The New York Times suggesting OpenAI had hired bankers for a potential 2026 IPO but was leaning towards 2027 due to market volatility and internal financial challenges.
