Anthropic warns AI could become global safety issue in IPO filing

nos.nl (Dutch) —

Anthropic, the AI company behind Claude, has warned in its IPO prospectus that artificial intelligence could become a global safety problem, citing risks of autonomous behavior and cybersecurity threats. The company reported rapid growth, with Q2 2026 revenue of $11.6 billion, but posted an $81 billion loss in the first half of 2026 due to high borrowing costs and data center expenses. It stated that new capital is needed to meet financial obligations. Anthropic plans to proceed with its IPO in the week of November 16 despite investor skepticism about AI industry investments. Competitor OpenAI previously postponed its own IPO due to safety incidents.
