Anthropic, one of the world's leading artificial intelligence (AI) development companies, is getting closer to its plan to conduct an initial public offering (IPO).
In that context, co-founder of Anthropic - Ms. Daniela Amodei spoke out to deny doubts about the profitability of AI, saying that this technology is still in the early stages of application in businesses.
Currently, the demand for investment in Anthropic is still very large. The company's latest capital raising with a valuation of up to 965 billion USD has received much more attention than expected from private investors.
After this success, Anthropic has begun preparations for listing on the stock market through IPO documents submitted in a secret form.
Speaking at the Bloomberg Tech conference (held from June 3-4 in California, USA), Ms. Daniela Amodei said that capital demand is one of the important reasons why leading AI companies must consider public listing.
According to her, training advanced AI models as well as operating them requires huge costs. In the future, businesses leading the AI development race will need to access larger capital sources, and the stock market is a suitable channel to meet this need.
Anthropic is currently one of the fastest growing AI companies in the world. The company's annual revenue exceeded 47 billion USD in May this year, a sharp increase compared to about 9 billion USD recorded at the end of 2025.
However, the rapid growth of the AI industry is also facing questions about investment efficiency. Some large corporations, including Uber, said that not all AI spending achieves the expected results. This raises concerns that businesses may cut budgets for AI in the future.
However, Daniela Amodei believes that the current assessments are too early. She believes that most businesses are just starting to learn and experiment with how to apply AI to production and business operations.
According to her, fields such as programming, finance, law and healthcare are showing clear effectiveness from AI. As businesses become more familiar with new tools, AI will be deeply integrated into daily workflows, thereby creating more value for both organizations and employees.
Another notable point is Anthropic's infrastructure strategy. Unlike many competitors such as OpenAI or Elon Musk's xAI, the company does not choose to build large-scale private data centers.
Daniela Amodei said Anthropic wants to avoid overinvesting in calculated resources that are not necessarily used up. According to her, maintaining product demand slightly higher than the supply capacity will be more efficient than owning a large amount of infrastructure but not fully exploiting capacity.
This strategy is clearly shown through the cooperation agreement that Anthropic signed with xAI last month to expand computing capabilities to serve AI models.
With the current growth momentum and the IPO plan being promoted, Anthropic is betting that the demand for AI applications of businesses will continue to increase sharply in the coming years.
