  "account": "OpenAI has decided not to go public in 2026, according to its CEO Sam Altman, due to safety concerns surrounding artificial intelligence. Altman stated that even a 10% risk of AI causing human extinction by the end of the decade is unacceptable. This decision comes amid growing calls for new AI regulations, following dire warnings from researchers at Anthropic, another AI company. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has also called for a slower pace of AI development to ensure safety. Altman confirmed that there are ongoing discussions within OpenAI about working with other leading AI firms to tackle safety risks. The company's potential IPO, which was previously considered for 2026, has now been pushed to 2027.",
