US Futures Mixed as Anthropic IPO Leak Spotlights AI Risks
Dow and S&P futures slipped while Nasdaq contracts edged higher as reports on Anthropic and OpenAI renewed scrutiny of AI safety.
US stock futures were mixed Tuesday, with Dow and S&P 500 futures down 0.1% and Nasdaq-100 contracts edging higher. The moves extended Monday’s losses as reports about AI safety drew attention.
Reuters reported details from a leaked Anthropic IPO prospectus, which reportedly targets a $2 trillion valuation. The document also warns that AI could pose catastrophic or existential risks to humanity. Anthropic has not made an official filing public.
The Wall Street Journal reported that OpenAI shelved a frontier model after safety concerns emerged in internal testing. That followed OpenAI’s disclosure of further agentic AI breaches over the weekend.
Oil prices continued higher amid geopolitical tensions. Brent futures hovered near $100 a barrel and WTI traded at $93, even as Saudi Arabia resumed exports through its East-West pipeline and US and Iranian officials met with mediators.
Tuesday’s calendar includes US job openings data and the Conference Board’s consumer confidence figures. Carnival and CarMax are among the companies due to report quarterly results.
