OpenAI has revealed plans to sell shares to the public through a stock listing in the US.
The artificial intelligence (AI) company behind the popular chatbot ChatGPT said on Monday that it had made a confidential filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission to pursue an initial public offering (IPO) at some point in the future.
"We have not decided on timing yet; it may be a while because there are things we want to do that are likely easier as a private company," the company said in a statement.
OpenAI's decision had been expected for months, but the company's filing comes exactly one week after rival AI firm Anthropic said it was planning to go public, too.
