Who said what › Sam Altman
CEO, OpenAI (as of 2026-09-30). 2 sourced remarks, newest first.
“Beating companies in a competitive pace is not a reason to make rash decisions. … We have unilaterally slowed down in the past. We will do so in the future.”
France convened the Security Council meeting on AI and international security. Amodei, Hugging Face's Clément Delangue and Yoshua Bengio also briefed.
“Committing to having independent evaluators with employee-like access is a great idea, and we will do the same … We'll have more to share soon.”
Altman was responding to Amodei's essay calling on AI labs to pace capability gains. In a Fortune interview published the same day, Altman said an OpenAI IPO now would be "ill-advised."
