Anthropic's confidential S-1 filing shows an $8 billion operating loss with rapid revenue growth, and its IPO pitch warns that its own models could resist shutdowns and cause catastrophic harm.
Anthropic reportedly told investors in its IPO filing that advanced AI could pose catastrophic or existential risks to humanity, including self-preserving behaviours, as it prepares for a potential $2tn flotation.
Why it matters: The filing would put a leading AI developer's own safety warnings in front of public market investors.
