🔊Anthropic says market will reward reliable, trustworthy and secure AI systems

Anthropic plans to caution potential investors in its IPO that advanced ​AI could pose "catastrophic or existential risks to humanity," an extraordinary warning by a company seeking to profit from the same technology.

The company's IPO ‌prospectus, reviewed by Reuters, highlights risks associated with its AI models, which it said could exhibit "self-preserving behaviors," including attempts to "resist shutdown," to "conceal or manipulate information" and behavior "resembling blackmail."

"Our development of highly advanced models, platforms, and applications and expansion of use cases could further increase the risk that our models cause harm," Anthropic said in the filing.

While public companies routinely outline product risks to investors, few, if ​any, have issued warnings suggesting their technology could cause potential human extinction.

Anthropic emphasized both the transformative potential of AI on par with industrialization and ​electricity and the irreversible harm it could cause if mishandled.

Anthropic and other AI developers, including OpenAI, have faced scrutiny after incidents ⁠where experimental systems defied constraints, including a report of an OpenAI model breaching Australia's health-system database.

Anthropic safety researcher Evan Hubinger estimated a greater than 10% probability that ​AI could kill humans within the next decade, echoing a sentiment by a former colleague, Jacob Coxon.
