证券和交易委员会星期一公布了Anthropic的S-1形式，这是人们殷切期望的首次公开发行，这导致人们就公司迅速膨胀的收入是否能够克服其甚至更高的成本进行了大量讨论。 但是，在数字和对AI的前瞻性乐观中，Anthropic“以比工业化、电力、半导体和互联网更大的方式快速地改变全球经济的每一个部门 ”, Anthropic在S-1中也花费了过多的时间，列出了可能使公司倒台的众多风险因素。
Anthropic的S-1 " 危险因素 " 一节在93页和70 000多个字的篇幅里，从字面上讨论了数百个可能对其未来业务产生不利影响的潜在问题。 其中许多潜在风险是几乎任何企业必须担心的对竞争、成本、客户收购和潜在监管的标准担忧。 但一些风险凸显出Anthropic特指的有趣的潜在故障点，以及更普遍的充气AI泡沫。
在翻阅了Anthropic的书长文章后，视此为远非全面的外观，潜在Anthropic投资者应铭记。
生存危机
让我们从最大的潜在风险开始：Anthropic写道，该公司承认，对这些风险的担忧是“我们组织内部和其他研究人员、监管者、决策者和行业参与者的融资”。
称公司并不是目前任何Anthropic模式中的具体担忧，而是可以自行“相当自动化”AI研发的近未来模式。 如果这些系统“被允许以高度自主的方式运作”，它们可以迅速发展到“超越我们评价和捍卫新模式的能力，加速AI的进展”,Anthropic 警告。

The Securities and Exchange Commission‘s publication on Monday of Anthropic’s S-1 form—ahead of a heavily anticipated initial public offering—has led to plenty of discussion of whether the company’s quickly ballooning revenues will be able to overcome its even higher costs. But amid the numbers and forward-looking optimism about AI “rapidly transform[ing] every sector of the global economy in ways greater than the impact of industrialization, electricity, semiconductors, and the internet,” Anthropic also spends an inordinate amount of time in its S-1 laying out the myriad risk factors that could bring the company down.
Across 93 pages and over 70,000 words, Anthropic’s S-1 “Risk Factors” section discusses literally hundreds of potential problems that could negatively impact its business in the coming years. Many of these potential risks are the kind of standard worries about competition, costs, customer acquisition, and potential regulation that almost any business must worry about. But some risks highlight interesting potential points of failure for Anthropic specifically and the hype-filled AI bubble more generally.
After wading through Anthropic’s book-length treatise on its greatest risks, we’ve narrowed the list to the seven most surprising, interesting, or thought-provoking potential problems. Consider this a far-from-comprehensive look that potential Anthropic investors should keep in mind.
An existential crisis
Let’s start with the biggest potential risks: Those that could “pose catastrophic or existential risks to humanity,” as Anthropic writes. The company acknowledges that concerns about these risks “have been raised both within our organization and by other researchers, regulators, policymakers, and industry participants.”
The specific worry isn’t in any current Anthropic model, the company says, but near-future models that could “substantially automate AI research and development” on their own. If these systems were “allowed to operate with a high degree of autonomy,” they could quickly advance to a point that “accelerate[s] AI progress beyond our ability to evaluate and safeguard new model,” Anthropic warns.
