Anthropic has outlined an extensive list of potential threats in its initial public offering filing, warning that advanced AI could enable biological weapons development, cyberattacks, blackmail and actions beyond human control.
The company behind Claude said its AI agents could alter or delete data, access third-party systems and conduct financial transactions before humans intervene.
The filing also highlighted legal exposure, regulatory uncertainty and strained relations with the US government. The Trump administration previously designated Anthropic a supply chain risk following disagreements over the use of its technology for surveillance and autonomous weapons.
Beyond safety concerns, Anthropic faces intense competition for computing infrastructure, rising data center costs and community opposition to new projects.
The company also cautioned that departing from its safety commitments could damage employee morale, public trust and long-term business prospects.
