GoKawiilAnthropic's IPO filing devotes 94 pages to AI 'existential risk' warnings
Anthropic's IPO prospectus discloses detailed financials alongside an unusually large risk-factors section warning that advanced AI systems could pose catastrophic or existential risks if deployed without adequate safeguards.
