Anthropic is warning prospective investors that deteriorating relations with governments could affect far more than its relatively small public-sector business, potentially damaging relationships with commercial customers, partners, employees and investors as the artificial intelligence company prepares to go public.
The warning appears in Anthropic's IPO prospectus reviewed by Reuters, which has not yet been made public. The company said government agency contracts account for less than 1% of its annual revenue, but government perceptions of Anthropic, its technology and its conduct could still result in revenue losses, disruption and reputational damage.
