OpenAI’s Sam Altman says it would be ‘ill-advised’ to go public in 2026

OpenAI 首席执行官 Sam Altman 表示，2026 年上市是“不明智的”

While OpenAI has filed confidentially for an IPO, the company will not be going public this year, according to CEO Sam Altman. 尽管 OpenAI 已经秘密提交了 IPO 申请，但据首席执行官 Sam Altman 称，该公司今年不会上市。

Altman was interviewed recently by Fortune editor in chief Alyson Shontell; amidst the fallout from the OpenAI-HuggingFace hack, as well as broader discussions about AI safety, Shontell asked whether OpenAI still feels pressure to “move really fast” due to its IPO plans. Altman 最近接受了《财富》杂志主编 Alyson Shontell 的采访。在 OpenAI 与 HuggingFace 黑客事件的影响以及关于人工智能安全的广泛讨论背景下，Shontell 询问 OpenAI 是否仍因其 IPO 计划而感到需要“快速行动”的压力。

“We’re not rushing into an IPO,” Altman said. “I actually think that given everything happening with safety, right now would be an ill-advised moment to go public.” “我们并没有急于进行 IPO，”Altman 说。“实际上我认为，考虑到目前在安全方面发生的一切，现在上市是一个不明智的时机。”

Instead, he insisted that OpenAI will go public “when we’re ready, which is when the business is ready, when we feel ready from what the moment is like in society with this technology.” 相反，他坚持认为 OpenAI 将在“我们准备好时”上市，即“当业务准备就绪，且当我们从社会对这项技术的接受程度来看感到准备就绪时”。

When pressed on whether that means the IPO isn’t happening in 2026, Altman replied, “I would say not 2026, yeah. We’ve got a lot of stuff to do.” 当被追问这是否意味着 IPO 不会在 2026 年进行时，Altman 回答道：“我会说不是 2026 年，是的。我们还有很多事情要做。”

The New York Times reported in June that although OpenAI had hired bankers and lawyers with the goal of going public in the third or fourth quarter of 2026, the company was leaning toward 2027 due to the volatility of tech stocks and its own financial challenges. 《纽约时报》曾在 6 月报道称，尽管 OpenAI 已经聘请了银行家和律师，目标是在 2026 年第三或第四季度上市，但由于科技股的波动及其自身的财务挑战，该公司倾向于推迟到 2027 年。
