Anthropic walks tightrope to Nasdaq, pushing for a slowdown while pursuing $2 trillion valuation
As Anthropic meets with prospective investors ahead of its potentially historic market debut, CEO Dario Amodei is pushing for a slowdown in AI.
Anthropic, the maker of the Claude chatbot, has chosen Nasdaq as its listing venue ahead of a potential record-setting initial public offering. According to people familiar with the matter, the company is seeking to raise as much as or more than SpaceX in an IPO that could take place as soon as October. This would value Anthropic at around $2 trillion.
The company's CEO, Dario Amodei, is pushing for a slowdown in AI development due to escalating risks from the technology. He was joined by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Elon Musk in voicing concerns over the pace of AI development.
US listings this year have raised $160.6 billion, with Nasdaq hosting several large IPOs, including SpaceX's record-setting $86.3 billion offering in June and SK Hynix's $26.5 billion debut in July. Anthropic has also been preparing a $15 billion revolving credit facility, according to Bloomberg News.
