Anthropic ‘warns of existential AI risks to humanity’ in IPO document

Reported admission to investors of AI’s ‘self-preserving behaviours’ comes as company prepares for a potential $2tn flotation

Besides conjectured exiestential risk, two trillion is a hell of a lot of money. An early Guardian paragraph-

The warning inside the startup’s IPO prospectus, which has yet to be made public, was reported by Reuters and the Financial Times. It follows the company’s call for a slowdown in breakneck development of the technology – a warning echoed by rivals.

With a caveat AI could destroy humanity, Anthropic forges ahead with its IPO before any bubble collapse may happen. Business as usual. Seize the opportunity. Bird in the hand is better than waiting for a bust.

All that.
