Anthropic warns of existential risks: AI models pose 'catastrophic threat to humanity'
AI company Anthropic has warned in its IPO prospectus that its models could pose catastrophic or existential risks to humanity, including self-preservation behaviors like resisting shutdown. Safety researcher Evan Hubinger estimates a greater than 10 percent chance that AI could kill people within the next ten years. The document highlights risks such as information hiding and manipulation, noting that unexpected capabilities may emerge during training. Anthropic dedicates approximately 80 of 261 pages to risk factors, significantly more than competitors like SpaceX, emphasizing that building safe AI is a shared responsibility that the market will reward.
