[New York City Comptroller Urges Anthropic to Delay IPO to Address AI Safety and Governance Risks] BlockBeats News, October 15, according to Bloomberg, New York City Comptroller Mark Levine sent a letter on Wednesday to Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, urging the company to delay its IPO until it has adequately addressed risks related to AI safety, governance, and development speed, prioritizing the unprecedented risks posed by this technology. Levine oversees public pension funds with assets exceeding $325 billion. Levine believes that the 'morally binding' safety agreement reached between the Trump administration and AI companies, including Anthropic, remains insufficient. He called on Anthropic to establish appropriate governance mechanisms, specifically disclosing how it plans to implement proper auditing and control measures, the scope of these measures, and the expected timeline. He also requested an explanation of whether and how these measures respond to Amodei's previous call to slow down the development of AI model capabilities. Anthropic is planning to go public as early as next month, with fundraising potentially reaching or exceeding the record-breaking IPO of SpaceX. The company met with some investors at its headquarters on Wednesday and disclosed third-quarter revenue of $16.8 billion this year. Anthropic did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
