Anthropic IPO faces potential delay amid NYC comptroller’s AI safety concerns

Anthropic , the company behind the AI technology Claude, is actively engaging with New York City Comptroller Mark Levine. This move follows a letter from Levine earlier in the week, urging a delay in Anthropic’s upcoming IPO due to concerns over AI safety, governance, and development speed. The company’s confidentially filed IPO reportedly aims for a valuation as high as $2 trillion, but the full prospectus has yet to be released. The New York City pension funds have an existing $7 million exposure to Anthropic, which could expand if the company enters major equity indexes post-IPO. This development appears to have led to a decrease in market confidence regarding the IPO timeline and valuation targets.
