OpenAI, perhaps the best-known company in the booming artificial intelligence market, filed confidentially on Monday for an initial public offering. Although there’s no date yet for the company’s public offering, this is a much-anticipated move, and according to The New York Times,\u00a0an OpenAI IPO “could be one of the largest public offerings to hit Wall Street.”<\/p>\n

“We recently submitted a confidential S-1. We expect it to leak so we’re just announcing it,” OpenAI said in a statement posted on X on Monday afternoon. “We 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.

It’s different from a public filing, where the company’s prospectus and financial information are available for investors to review.<\/p>\n

OpenAI was founded in 2015 by Elon Musk and current OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. (Musk left the company’s board in 2018, and later sued Altman, in a trial that ended in Altman’s favor just last month<\/span><\/span>.) In 2022, the company released ChatGPT,<\/span><\/span> a generative artificial intelligence chatbot based on large language model technology. Few apps have expanded as rapidly as ChatGPT, which amassed hundreds of millions of users<\/span><\/span> in record time and has become, to many people, shorthand for AI chatbots.<\/p>\n

The IPO will be closely watched, as investors weigh whether Altman’s own warnings<\/span><\/span> about an AI bubble are correct.<\/p>\n
