Anthropic Tells IPO Investors Its Models May Pose ‘Catastrophic or Existential Risks to Humanity’

Anthropic has told prospective investors that its AI models could pose “catastrophic or existential risks to humanity,” in an IPO prospectus that devotes nearly 80 of its 261 pages to risk factors and 48 to the business itself. Reuters first reported the filing, with the Financial Times corroborating. Investors believe the company could list at a valuation above $2 trillion.
