OpenAI founder Altman: The company will not go public this year.

TechFlow reports that on September 13, according to Jin10, Sam Altman, founder and CEO of OpenAI, recently clearly announced that the company will not initiate its IPO process this year. Altman pointed out that although OpenAI has made progress in artificial intelligence technology iterations, it currently still faces numerous complex safety challenges and ethical risks.

He emphasized that ensuring the safety and controllability of large model systems remains the core task at this stage. To this end, OpenAI will continue to dedicate primary resources to the R&D and testing of underlying security architectures, temporarily setting aside the compliance pressures that may arise from public market financing. Altman reiterated that the company will prioritize technological R&D and safety verification, and will not advance the IPO process at this time.
