Anthropic is expected to identify growing public backlash against artificial intelligence and data centers as a risk factor in its upcoming initial public offering filing, according to CNBC. The company is said to be preparing its prospectus for release in the coming weeks as it moves toward what could be a large-scale IPO. People familiar with the matter told CNBC that Anthropic has recently held pre-IPO "testing-the-waters" meetings with bankers and investors. Those discussions centered on several issues investors see as material: rising competitive pressure, the effect of open-source models on profit margins, and the possibility that a slowdown in data center construction could weigh on the business. The report adds that public concerns in the United States over AI replacing jobs, along with unease about continued data center expansion, are emerging as a fresh challenge for the company as it heads toward the public market. Anthropic had previously reached an annualized revenue run rate of more than $65 billion.
