Anthropic filed for its IPO and expects to begin trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol ANT. The company's IPO will serve as a litmus test for investor demand for new equity tied to the AI trade, and its debut has become a focal point for hopes and fears over artificial intelligence. Anthropic's prospectus flagged various "risks to humanity" including attempts to "resist shutdown" and "conceal or manipulate information," and the company emphasized the potential for its AI to "behave in unintended, misaligned, or autonomous ways."
