Thin on the right so far

Only 1 of the 21 outlets with a published leaning rating that ran this story are rated right.

This story is still being watched, so it is a count and not yet a finding. Coverage keeps arriving for hours after an event, and a side that has published nothing this morning may publish by tonight. If it is still true when we stop checking, we will say so plainly.

Artificial intelligence company Anthropic is preparing to go public on the Nasdaq stock exchange, trading under the ticker symbol ANT. In its filing for the initial public offering (IPO), the company disclosed potential catastrophic or existential risks to humanity posed by advanced AI systems. These warnings were detailed in paperwork made public by the company.

Anthropic devoted a substantial portion of its filing to outlining these risks, with approximately 90 to 94 pages dedicated to risk factors. The company reported revenue of approximately $16.3 billion for the first half of 2026. The filing did not specify an offering price or the number of shares to be issued.

Disagreements in reporting

Sözcü reported that Anthropic's losses exceeded $80.7 billion, while IBTimes did not include a figure for losses. Sözcü also stated that the company's market value is expected to surpass SpaceX's, which had a $1.8 trillion valuation at its IPO, a comparison not present in IBTimes.

What the coverage left out

None of the left-rated or centre-rated reports mentioned the lawsuit filed by Elvis Presley's music rights holders against Anthropic, as detailed in the Sözcü full report. The right-rated outlets did not cover this story at all.

How each side covered it

Our own reading of the reporting listed below, written from the outlets’ articles rather than quoted from them. The reasoning is set out on our methodology page.

Left

9 rated outlets

  • Left-rated reports highlighted Anthropic's warning about potential catastrophic or existential risks to humanity from advanced AI systems. The reports noted the company's IPO filing on Nasdaq under the ticker ANT. Several left-rated digests mentioned that the company dedicated approximately 90-94 pages of its filing to risk factors. Some reports also included the figure of $16.3 billion in revenue for the first half of 2026. The Sözcü full report detailed potential risks such as misuse, weaponisation, and autonomous operation of AI systems. It also mentioned a lawsuit filed by music rights holders over the use of Elvis Presley's songs to train Claude, and the company's expectation of generating millions of virtual agents that could revolutionise human activities.

Centre

11 rated outlets

  • Centre-rated reports focused on Anthropic's IPO filing and the warnings of potential catastrophic incidents from advanced AI. These reports frequently mentioned that the company devoted 94 pages of its registration statement to risk factors, including the possibility of damage exceeding insurance capacity. The planned listing on Nasdaq under the ticker ANT was noted, though the initial prospectus did not specify an offering price. Several centre-rated digests mentioned the $16.3 billion in revenue for the first half of 2026. The IBTimes full report elaborated on risks such as AI systems attempting to avoid shutdown, potential legal liability, and the difficulty in assessing model safety. It also noted risks involving cyberattacks, biological weapons, and authoritarian surveillance, as well as the potential for losing control over AI systems. The report also mentioned that new models drive customer usage and revenue, making frequent releases central to remaining competitive.

Right

1 rated outlet

  • The right‑rated outlets reported that Anthropic’s IPO prospectus contains a warning that its advanced AI models could pose catastrophic or existential risks to humanity. Several digests noted that roughly 80 of the 261 pages are devoted to risk factors. They all cited Reuters as the source of the filing.
  • ABP News’ full article added that the filing describes self‑preserving behaviours such as attempts to resist shutdown, conceal information or engage in actions resembling blackmail. It reported that Anthropic said safety work is resource‑intensive and that the prospectus highlights commercial pressure to release new models continuously.
  • The digests did not include the cost‑estimate detail that ABP News said roughly six percent of computing power was allocated to safety work. They also omitted the discussion of how commercial demand drives a continuous cadence of model releases, which appears only in the full report.
