DKCISSP REPORT

Artificial intelligence (AI) firm Anthropic just released the required paperwork ahead of its long-anticipated debut on the US stock market.

The 335-page document included fresh details of how the Claude chatbot owner makes money, what it spends that money on and who it is controlled by.

Anthropic also detailed some of the the risks it claimed AI technology poses, including how it could take human lives.

Anthropic's risk factors were unique, also disclosing how the AI technology it is developing could doom humanity as a whole; anthropic has yet to disclose a target share price for its stock listing.

Every public company has to tell potential investors how things could go wrong.

One of the most significant risks to that ability is Anthropic's access to infrastructure it needs, including computer chips and data centres, to build, train and operate the models that underpin its technology.
