Anthropic warns of ‘existential risks to humanity’ from AI; AstraZeneca makes $2bn cancer drug tie-up – business live

Anthropic, the creator of the AI language model Claude, has issued a warning about the potential "existential risks to humanity" posed by artificial intelligence. The company's IPO prospectus, analyzed by The Financial Times, revealed that Anthropic anticipates substantial expenditures on cloud, computing, and infrastructure to sustain its rapid growth.

Investors are optimistic, anticipating a valuation exceeding $2tn for the company, which would more than double its last funding round valuation and surpass the $1.78tn achieved by Elon Musk's SpaceX.
