Report: Anthropic May List US Public Backlash Against AI as Risk Factor in IPO Prospectus

Anthropic, valued at up to $2 trillion, is preparing for an IPO but faces a thorny headwind from public opinion—a Gallup poll shows 70% of Americans oppose building AI data centers in their local areas. With midterm elections approaching, politicians from both parties are responding to voter sentiment, and Pennsylvania has enacted a bill restricting data centers. According to media reports, for an AI company where computing power translates directly into revenue, this wave of public backlash may be listed as a core risk in the IPO prospectus.
