A blog post published by OpenAI is urging governments to create a global body that could monitor advanced artificial intelligence work and even push developers to ease off when risks start to outstrip safeguards.

The post entitled "Built to benefit everyone: our plan," which was authored by CEO Sam Altman and chief scientist Jakub Pachocki, notes that national and global coordination will become more important as AI development continues, Gizmodo reported.

"One goal of such an organization should be to make it possible for the world to take coordinated action, including slowing frontier development when needed, so societal resilience, safety, and alignment can keep pace," the post states.

This letter echoes a similar message from rival Anthropic issued last week in which the company argued that a worldwide pause could be beneficial if it could actually be implemented.

"We believe it would be good for the world to have the option to slow or temporarily pause frontier AI development to enable societal structures and alignment research to keep up with the advance of the technology," Anthropic wrote.

Similarly, OpenAI pointed to AI systems contributing directly to AI research as a potential inflection point for how fast the field moves. "We believe that AI doing AI research will become the determining factor of the pace of progress within the next few years," Altman and Pachocki wrote.

By March of 2028, OpenAI "may have a significant fraction of our research being done by AI systems in tandem with our own researchers," the company said.

Altman and Pachocki described building an "automated AI researcher" as a major internal objective and also said OpenAI wants to "provide everyone on Earth with a personal AGI." 

Both OpenAI and Anthropic have recently submitted confidential draft registration statements on Form S-1 to the SEC.

Neither firm has provided a timeline for its proposed IPO.

Meanwhile, Elon Musk‘s Space Exploratsion Technologies Corp. — better known as SpaceX — filed its own S-1 in May, aiming to raise approximately $75 billion at a valuation near $1.75 trillion, which would make it the largest IPO in market history. 

Together, the three filings represent a historic convergence of AI and space-age technology hitting public markets simultaneously — and a defining test of investor appetite for moonshot bets.
