- Sam Altman told Fortune that OpenAI will not go public this year, saying 'given everything happening with safety, right now would be an ill-advised moment to go public'
- Altman said he agrees with Amodei that 'committing to having independent evaluators with employee-like access is a great idea,' and OpenAI will adopt the same approach
Why it matters: OpenAI employees and early investors awaiting liquidity through a public offering now face another year without an exit, as Altman ties the IPO timeline to AI safety progress rather than financial readiness.
