Sam Altman ruled out an OpenAI stock market listing in 2026. The OpenAI chief executive spoke in a 45-minute interview with Fortune. He called the present a poorly advised moment to go public, citing safety matters. He said OpenAI feels no pressure and will list only when ready. Altman also said it is absolutely possible to build an AI beyond human control. He pledged to act to prevent that, including pausing training if needed. He said there are risks that should not be taken on behalf of humanity. He also discussed the Hugging Face hacking incident and systems that improve themselves.
