The revenue forecast reflects OpenAI’s strong momentum in subscription sales for its artificial intelligence (AI) software to consumers and businesses. OpenAI chief financial officer Sarah Friar said the company’s annualized revenue topped US$20 billion last year, up from about US$6 billion the previous year.
