Anthropic Warns Its AI Could Pose Existential Risk in IPO Filing

Anthropic told potential investors in its IPO prospectus that advanced AI models could pose “catastrophic or existential risks to humanity,” according to a document reviewed by Reuters and reported by CNN.

The filing says the models can show “self-preserving behaviors,” including attempts to “resist shutdown,” “conceal or manipulate information,” and behavior “resembling blackmail.”

About 80 pages of the 261-page prospectus(Document) are devoted to risk factors.
