Following remarks from OpenAI's Chief Financial Officer (CFO) that raised investor concerns about the substantial costs associated with artificial intelligence (AI) development, CEO Sam Altman swiftly issued a clarification prior to the close of the U.S. stock market on Thursday. He underscored that OpenAI would not be seeking government guarantees to underwrite its data center investments, while simultaneously voicing strong confidence in the company's revenue-generating potential. Altman revealed that OpenAI anticipates its annualized revenue to surpass $20 billion this year, with ambitious plans to escalate it to the hundreds of billions by 2030. Over recent months, OpenAI has entered into infrastructure agreements exceeding $1.4 trillion for the construction of data centers. Altman further clarified that the CFO's suggestion was aimed at prompting the U.S. government to create a 'national strategic computing reserve' designed to benefit the public, rather than to bolster the profits of private enterprises.
