Anthropy warned of a threat to humanity from advanced AI developer Claude included a warning in the IPO prospectus that artificial intelligence systems without adequate security measures could pose catastrophic and even existential risks to humanity. Anthropic said its advanced models already demonstrate capabilities that could help attackers develop chemical, biological and other weapons. The company recognizes that the existing security mechanisms are not perfect and can be bypassed. Among other risks, Anthropic cited unintended AI behavior, including attempts to resist shutdown, hiding or distorting information and performing actions reminiscent of extortion. The company filed for an IPO on October 26 and plans to list shares on Nasdaq under the symbol Ant. Prior to the announcement, Anthropic also disclosed a net loss of $80.7 billion in the first half of 2026, most of which was due to an accounting restatement of financial liabilities.
