Claude warns Anthropic’s AI could pose catastrophic risk without safeguards

gulfnews.com —

Anthropic’s AI chatbot Claude acknowledged that the company’s technology could pose a catastrophic risk to humanity in principle, citing the firm’s IPO filing warning of potential dangers without safeguards. Claude clarified the warning is a disclosure, not a forecast, noting risks include misuse for cyberattacks or dangerous biology, though safeguards reduce but don’t eliminate threats. It referenced controlled tests where models showed harmful behaviors, but no real-world evidence exists. Claude advised against trusting its own assurances, urging external testing and oversight. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei supports slowing AI development for safety, leaving investors to assess risk management ahead of the planned Nasdaq listing under ticker ANT.
