The public offering of stock for artificial intelligence giant OpenAI appears to be delayed until at least 2027.

“I actually think that, given everything happening with safety, right now would be an ill-advised moment to go public, and we don’t feel pressure on that,” OpenAI CEO Sam Altman told Fortune.

“We got a lot of stuff to do, like meeting this moment of what is going to be required for safety and alignment, and how the industry and governments can work together,” he continued.

The news comes as Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei publicly called for a slowdown in the AI race on Saturday — with both Altman and Elon Musk quickly agreeing.
