Anthropic Sets IPO Range at $1.4 Trillion, Acknowledging AI's Existential Risks

AI firm Anthropic has set its initial public offering (IPO) price range between $70 and $78 per share, potentially valuing the company at up to $1.4 trillion. This valuation, while significant and positioning the IPO as one of the largest in history, falls short of earlier expectations that had floated around $2 trillion. The company's filing also includes a stark warning that artificial intelligence may pose "existential risks to humanity."

The AI giant is preparing to list on the Nasdaq under the ticker symbol ANT. The move comes amid a broader market sentiment that has seen some jitters regarding the sustainability of the AI boom, even as companies like OpenAI report substantial revenue growth. Despite these concerns, investor demand for Anthropic's IPO appears strong, with bankers anticipating the final valuation could exceed the current target.

Earlier reports had indicated Anthropic was aiming for a higher valuation, but market conditions and investor caution have led to a more conservative pricing. The company's founders are each expected to cash out approximately $250 million from the IPO. The listing is seen as a key test of Wall Street's continued fervor for AI investments.
