《金融時報》：OpenAI考慮在IPO前以1.2兆美元估值募資

9月15日（路透）——《金融時報》週二引述知情人士報導，ChatGPT開發商OpenAI近期已與大型投資人討論新一輪募資，這將使該公司在公開上市前的估值提高至約1.2兆美元。Sept 15 (Reuters) - OpenAI has recently held discussions with large investors about a fresh capital raise that would increase the ChatGPT maker's valuation to about $1.2 trillion before it goes public, the Financial Times reported on Tuesday, citing people familiar with the matter.

• 報導稱，與投資人的對話仍處於初步階段，相關金額未來數月可能改變；報導並補充，這些談話是由投資人而非公司發起。• The conversations with investors are at an early stage and the figure could change over the coming months, said the report, adding that the talks were initiated by investors rather than the company.

• OpenAI拒絕對該報導作出回應。• OpenAI declined to comment on the report.

• 該公司3月已完成一輪募資，承諾出資金額達1,220億美元，當時估值為8,520億美元。• The company had closed a funding round in March with $122 billion in committed capital, valuing it at $852 billion.

• OpenAI執行長山姆・奧特曼（Sam Altman）週六表示，基於對人工智慧安全的疑慮，該公司不會在2026年公開上市。• OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said on Saturday that the company would not go public in 2026, citing safety concerns over artificial intelligence.

• 在外界對安全與濫用的疑慮之下，OpenAI與競爭對手Anthropic正推動加強人工智慧監管，以確保這項技術以促進安全的方式發展。• OpenAI and rival Anthropic are pushing for greater regulation of artificial intelligence to ensure the technology is developed in ways that promote safety amid concerns about security and misuse.

• 路透本月稍早報導，Anthropic預計最快於10月中旬開始行銷其首次公開募股，並在11月美國期中選舉前數日完成掛牌上市。• Anthropic is expected to begin marketing its initial public offering in mid-October at the earliest and complete the listing days before the U.S. midterm elections in November, Reuters reported earlier this month.
