Anthropic has warned that government policies and attitudes towards artificial intelligence could affect its relationships with customers and create challenges as the company prepares for a potential initial public offering.

The warning was included in documents related to the company’s IPO plans. Anthropic said changes in government policies or regulatory approaches could influence how customers use its artificial intelligence services and affect business relationships.

The company also highlighted broader uncertainty surrounding the development and regulation of artificial intelligence. Changes in laws, government policies and public sector approaches could affect Anthropic’s operations and growth prospects.

The disclosures come as Anthropic continues to expand its artificial intelligence business and strengthen its position in a rapidly developing market. The company is also attracting increasing attention from investors as it considers entering public markets.
