Sam Altman told Axios and Fortune that OpenAI will not go public this year, calling the current moment "ill-advised" for an IPO given the safety work still ahead. Investors had expected both OpenAI and Anthropic to list this year, making this one of the most anticipated IPOs now delayed. Altman stressed AI companies must avoid actions that could risk humanity's control over the future.
