Anthropic is reportedly targeting a Nov. 9 IPO launch, aiming to start marketing the offering in the week of that date even as it warns about “existential risks” from AI. The reported target date is Nov. 9, meaning shares could begin trading before Thanksgiving. If the timeline holds, the company would proceed with a pre-Thanksgiving IPO despite internal timing discussions and possible broader market effects for AI stocks.
OpenAI dismissed three safety researchers it said violated company policies for accessing and handling sensitive information by sharing confidential material with a third-party AI safety organization.

It concludes that shifting attention from existential-risk rhetoric toward building broad prevention and resilience against systemic risks is more likely to improve AI safety outcomes.
The Federal Trade Commission confirmed it launched an investigation into OpenAI, Anthropic, and other AI companies over potential consumer risks from their technology.
