Sam Altman says OpenAI will not go public in 2026 and that the company will prioritize safety

oglobo12 September 2026 at 21:35

OpenAI will not go public this year of 2026, as announced by CEO Sam Altman in an interview with Fortune. The artificial intelligence company stated that it will prioritize addressing issues related to the safety of the technology before considering an initial public offering.

Altman stated that this year would be an "imprudent moment" for an IPO and that the listing on the stock exchange will not occur before next year. The executive emphasized that the company is entering a new era and needs to act differently in relation to previous generations.

During the interview, Altman stated that he considers it unacceptable to take something like a 10% chance of causing catastrophic harm to humanity by the end of the decade. He argued that it is necessary to ensure that technological advances benefit all of humanity without anyone taking risks even remotely close to that.

Why this matters

The decision to postpone the IPO directly affects Brazilian investors following the stock market of artificial intelligence companies, as OpenAI is one of the most valued companies in the sector. Furthermore, Altman's emphasis on safety as a priority over financial gains reflects an inflection point for the entire AI ecosystem, which could influence regulations and investment decisions in technology in Brazil.
