Anthropic prepares for $2 trillion IPO amid AI safety warnings

Anthropic is preparing for an initial public offering (IPO) that could value the company at approximately $2 trillion, with plans to raise up to $100 billion. While the company moves toward public documentation, CEO Dario Amodei has focused on warning about the catastrophic risks associated with artificial intelligence.

Amodei has highlighted concerns regarding AI models becoming uncontrollable, launching cyberattacks, or being misused by humans to create biological weapons. This push for regulation comes amid internal friction; researcher Jacob Coxon recently resigned, citing irresponsible AI advancement, followed by scientist Evan Hubinger, whose social media activity has contributed to recent media scrutiny.
