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“深感不安”，并要求该公司在上市前回答一系列问题。
这位民主党参议员要求Anthropic在11月3日前，回答一份长达四页、涉及其首次公开募股申请文件的问题清单。
具体情况
这位来自马萨诸塞州的民主党参议员在周二致Anthropic首席执行官达里奥·阿莫迪（Dario Amodei）的信中表示，该公司AI技术带来的风险“需要在其与公开资本市场建立紧密联系之前受到更严格的审查，否则可能进一步加剧公共安全风险和系统性金融风险”。
信函包含长达四页的问题清单，沃伦要求Anthropic最迟于11月3日作出“详尽答复”。
这些问题包括：Anthropic如何确保其技术不会对人类构成生存性威胁；该公司与亚马逊（Amazon.com）、Broadcom等合作伙伴的关系详情；以及该公司将如何证明其可能接近2万亿美元的估值具有合理性。
背景情况
据此前报道，Anthropic正筹备一场可能成为有史以来规模最大的首次公开募股，融资额最高可达1000亿美元。
该公司周一提交的申请文件意味着，其最早可能在感恩节前一周上市。
在这份旨在吸引投资者参与认购的文件中，Anthropic表示，其技术有望改变人们编写代码、开展研究和实现日常任务自动化的方式，甚至可能帮助治愈重大疾病。
与此同时，该公司也警告称，人工智能可能导致新型生物武器的研发，并“破坏地缘政治秩序的稳定”。
这并非沃伦首次对人工智能发展表达担忧，也不是她第一次就大型IPO发表意见。不过，鉴于投资者对Anthropic股票的需求十分旺盛，这封信不太可能对该公司的上市计划产生重大影响。
沃伦今年早些时候曾在华盛顿与阿莫迪会面。她是呼吁人工智能行业放缓先进AI技术研发、以便建立更严格监管制度的美国国会议员之一。
今年6月SpaceX上市前，沃伦曾敦促美国证券交易委员会（SEC）推迟这家火箭制造商的IPO，理由包括其估值过高、公司治理结构以及近期指数编制规则的调整。
不过，SpaceX最终仍按计划完成了上市。≈

According to a copy of a letter, United States Senator Elizabeth Warren expressed “deep concern” at the risk disclosed by the artificial intelligence giant Anthropic in his application for the first public collection (IPO) this week and asked the company to answer a number of questions before listing.
The Democrat Senator asked Anthropic to answer a four-page list of questions concerning his first public application for an application by 3 November.
Specific
The Democratic Senator from Massachusetts, in his letter to Executive Director Dario Amodei of Anthropic on Tuesday, stated that the risks posed by the company's AI technology “need to be subjected to stricter scrutiny before it can establish close links with open capital markets, otherwise it may further exacerbate public safety and systemic financial risks”.
The letter contained a four-page list of issues and Warren requested Anthropic to provide a “detailed response” by 3 November.
These include: how Anthropic ensures that its technology does not pose a existential threat to humanity; details of the company ' s relationship with its partners, such as Amazon.com and Broadcom; and how it will justify its possible valuation of close to $2 trillion.
Background
As previously reported, Anthropic is preparing for a potential first-time public equity fund-raising exercise of up to $100 billion.
The application documents submitted by the company on Monday meant that it could be listed at the earliest one week before Thanksgiving.
In this paper, which aims to attract investors to the subscription, Anthropic states that its technology is expected to change the way people prepare codes, conduct research and automate daily tasks, and may even help to cure major diseases.
At the same time, the company warned that artificial intelligence could lead to the development of new types of biological weapons and “stabilize the geopolitical order”.
This is not the first time Warren has expressed concern about artificial intelligence development, nor has it been the first time she has commented on a large IPO. However, the letter is unlikely to have a significant impact on the company's listing plans, given the strong demand by investors for Anthropic stocks.
Warren met Amody in Washington earlier this year. She is one of the members of the United States Congress who called for the artificial intelligence industry to slow down the development of advanced AI technology in order to establish stricter regulatory regimes.
Before SpaceX was listed in June this year, Warren urged the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to postpone the IPO of the rocket manufacturer, for reasons including overvaluation, the corporate governance structure and adjustments to recent indexing rules.
However, SpaceX eventually completed listing as planned. Zenium
