ChatGPT maker OpenAI filed preliminary paperwork that would open the door to it becoming a publicly traded company, the third in a powerhouse trio of artificial intelligence companies racing to Wall Street debuts.<\/p>\n

The San Francisco-based company said Monday it has filed confidential paperwork with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe expect it to leak so we\u2019re just announcing it,\u201d the company said in a written statement. \u201cWe have not decided on timing yet; it may be a while because there are things we want to do that are likely easier as a private company. But it\u2019s a complicated set of tradeoffs and this gives us the option to go public sooner if that ends up being best.\u201d<\/p>\n

OpenAI’s move follows its rival Anthropic’s June 1 disclosure that it is also moving toward an initial public offering of shares. Both are now following Elon Musk’s space company SpaceX, which has started an IPO roadshow pitching itself as an AI-focused space company.<\/p>\n

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman first publicly floated the possibility of an IPO last fall, describing it as the \u201cmost likely path\u201d for the company given its size and the need for vast amounts of capital to advance its technology. <\/p>\n

OpenAI began in 2015 as a nonprofit dedicated to developing AI for the common good and is now a company valued at $852 billion.<\/p>\n

Paving the way for going public was OpenAI\u2019s decision last year to reorganize its business structure and convert itself into a public benefit corporation even as it remains technically under the control of a nonprofit. <\/p>\n

Also clearing the way for an IPO was OpenAI’s victory against Musk in a federal jury trial last month. Musk, an OpenAI co-founder and early donor, had sued the company seeking to oust Altman from its leadership and unravel its conversion to a for-profit business. A judge dismissed the case after the jury found Musk filed his lawsuit too late.<\/p>\n

OpenAI has not yet publicly disclosed how much money it is making or when it plans to turn a profit. Much…<\/p>\n
