There’s something odd about the way Anthropic is wooing investors
The AI boom is driving the global economy with supporters saying it will transform the world, but even AI companies say it could also end humanity.
Anthropic has officially filed its IPO papers, with the company aiming to raise as much as $100 billion. According to Fast Company, as much as 20% of the shares may be reserved for retail investors. This follows an announcement from Meta on Tuesday that it intends to sell equity shares on the public market to raise $95 billion for AI infrastructure development.
While retail investors have previously been exposed to the AI industry through shares in companies like Microsoft and Google, Fast Company notes they now have the opportunity to invest in pure-play AI labs such as Anthropic and OpenAI. The AI boom is currently driving the global economy, though supporters suggest it will transform the world while some AI companies warn it could also end humanity.
