The world's leading AI lab believes the technology will soon cure cancer and a string of devastating diseases.
Anthropic, which makes the popular Claude chatbot, has issued its official filing for a float on the US stock market.
The American company filed papers with the US Securities and Exchange Commission which revealed how revolutionary it believes the technology can become.
The prospectus said AI is “one of the most consequential technologies in human history”, with the potential to “improve the quality of human life” in a number of ways.
This includes accelerating scientific innovation and “potentially curing diseases that have plagued humanity for millennia, including cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, heart disease, rare genetic diseases and the major infectious diseases”.
The company, which plans to list on the Nasdaq index under the symbol “ANT", believes AI can also be a “powerful lever for economic growth” and boost productivity through automation for workers and businesses.
The company, which will be valued at around £2 trillion when its shares hit the open market, is widely considered to be the most advanced AI lab on Earth.

Danny Kruger, Reform’s Head of Preparing for Government, hailed the cancer claim, but insisted the UK must take AI far more seriously.
He said: "This is massively encouraging from Anthropic, and proves that AI offers incredible benefits to mankind.
"But it also offers huge threats. What can cure can also kill. To realise the opportunities and reduce the dangers the UK needs to be a leading AI nation, able to use frontier models in the national interest and help the world make AI safe.
"But right now, we're not even at the races. We have amazing scientists and entrepreneurs but they can't work here because Government is blocking new data centres and discouraging financial institutions from investing in British firms.
"We need a government that believes in tech and believes in Britain."
Last week Barclays Bank said it was shedding 5,000 jobs because AI had become 'more efficient' than people for lots of back office tasks.

It's the United Kingdom. They are the best.
Mr Kruger's comments come just weeks after the boss of Microsoft said Britain was best placed to lead the world on AI safety.
Brad Smith, president of US tech giant, claimed the UK's AI Security Institute has the strongest technical capability in the world to test AI models.
He said: "It's the United Kingdom. They are the best.
"Britain is a bridge across the Atlantic and across the English Channel.
He also claimed that "people in Washington don't look at London the same way they look at Brussels" which gives the UK a huge advantage.
The Anthropic prospectus also highlights the risk of cyber attacks and draws attention to an incident in September last year where it “detected and assessed with high confidence that a Chinese state-sponsored hacking group manipulated our Claude Code tool into attempting infiltration into roughly 30 global targets” including government agencies, some of which were successful.
It added: “We expect that malicious actors, including sophisticated state-sponsored actors, will continue to seek to leverage our models, platform, and applications for harmful actions, including by circumventing our safeguards, and their efforts to do so may increase as the capabilities of our technology increase."
The document also includes information on its finances, showing that revenues are growing rapidly but that, like other tech firms looking to go public, it has yet to make a profit.
The company reported a net loss of $80.7 billion (£60.5 billion) in the first half of 2026. That compares with a loss of $13 billion dollars (£9.8 billion) for the same period a year earlier.
Anthropic acknowledged under the risk factors that it has “a history of net losses” and “may not achieve or sustain profitability in the future”.
Meanwhile, Facebook and Instagram owner Meta announced on Monday that it was planning to raise around 95 billion dollars (£71 billion) through company stock offerings, to fund further investment into AI.
The company said it had backing from investors such as Nvidia and Broadcom which had shown an interest in buying shares under public offerings.
Meta said its AI investments were already generating returns and that it was “pursuing new opportunities across personal superintelligence, consumer and business agents, enterprise products, and AI glasses”.
It came as SpaceX confirmed a $40 billion debt financing to buy graphics processing units, the chips that power artificial intelligence systems.
CEO Elon Musk said the firm, which is generating strong revenue from its Starlink satellite business, had signed a binding commitment to fund the investment.
Last week Mr Musk warned that, while physical jobs, like electrical work and plumbing will survive many years, office workers faced imminent replacement by artificial intelligence.
He said: "Anything that is digital, which is like just someone at a computer doing something, AI is going to take over those jobs like lightning."
