美国参议员沃伦要求Anthropic就AI对人类的“生存性风险”作出解释 据一封信函副本，美国参议员伊丽莎白·沃伦（Elizabeth Warren）对人工智能巨头Anthropic本周在首次公开募股（IPO）申请文件中披露的风险表示“深感

U.S. Senator Warren asks Anthropic to explain AI's "existential risks" to humanity U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren is "deeply troubled" by the risks disclosed in artificial intelligence giant Anthropic's initial public offering (IPO) filing this week, according to a copy of a letter, and is demanding the company answer a series of questions before going public. The Democratic senator gave Anthropic until Nov. 3 to answer a four-page list of questions related to its initial public offering filing. Specific Situation The Democratic senator from Massachusetts said in a letter to Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei on Tuesday that the risks posed by the company's AI technology "need to be subject to stricter scrutiny before it establishes close ties with public capital markets, otherwise it may further exacerbate public safety risks and systemic financial risks." The letter contained a four-page list of questions, and Warren requested "detailed responses" from Anthropic no later than November 3. Those questions include: how Anthropic will ensure that its technology does not pose an existential threat to humanity; details of the company's relationships with partners such as Amazon.com (Amazon.com), Broadcom and others; and how the company will justify its valuation, which could approach $2 trillion. Background According to previous reports, Anthropic is preparing for what may become the largest initial public offering in history, with a financing amount of up to US$100 billion. The company's filing on Monday means it could go public as early as a week before Thanksgiving. In the document aimed at attracting investors to participate in the subscription, Anthropic said that its technology has the potential to change the way people write code, conduct research and automate daily tasks, and may even help cure major diseases. At the same time, the company also warned that artificial intelligence could lead to the development of new biological weapons and "destabilize the geopolitical order." This is not the first time Warren has expressed concerns about the development of artificial intelligence, nor is it the first time she has expressed opinions on a large IPO. However, given the strong investor demand for Anthropic shares, the letter is unlikely to have a significant impact on the company's plans to go public. Warren met with Amodei in Washington earlier this year. She is one of the U.S. lawmakers who called on the artificial intelligence industry to slow down the research and development of advanced AI technology in order to establish a stricter regulatory system. Before SpaceX went public in June this year, Warren urged the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to delay the rocket maker's IPO.
