PBC 在其首次公开募股(IPO)招股说明书中将气候变化和环境问题列为风险因素,强调其业务运营所需的巨额电力和基础设施。
PBC highlighted climate change and environmental concerns as risk factors in its IPO filing, underscoring the enormous amount of electricity and infrastructure needed to support its business operations.
该公司周一表示:“气候变化的物理影响可能会随着时间的推移增加我们的运营成本,因为较高的平均温度会增加我们所依赖设施中冷却设备所需的电力消耗和用水量。”
“The physical effects of climate change may increase our operating costs over time, as higher average temperatures can increase the power consumption and water usage required to cool equipment at the facilities on which we depend,” the company said on Monday.
人工智能公司正面临活动团体、社区成员、监管机构和投资者的审视。一些州在评估对环境和电价的潜在影响时,推动暂停新建数据中心。Anthropic 在其 S-1 文件中承认,这种反弹可能会给其业务带来声誉损害。
Artificial intelligence companies have come under scrutiny from activist groups, community members, regulators and investors. Some states have pushed for moratoriums on new data center builds as they assess the potential impact to the environment and power prices. Anthropic acknowledged in its S-1 that this backlash could result in reputational harm to its business.
Anthropic 表示:“我们的品牌因 AI 技术在社会、环境、劳工、健康和安全方面的感知影响而受到更严格的审视,单一的感知失误都可能导致过大的声誉损害。”“数据中心的开发引发了公众争议和监管审视,涉及环境影响、土地和水资源使用,以及有限电力资源的分配。”该文件与 SpaceX 的 S-1 形成对比,后者未提及气候变化。SpaceX 随后修改了其 S-1,增加了水资源短缺作为风险因素。
“Our brand is subject to heightened scrutiny with respect to perceived societal, environmental, labor, health, and safety-related impacts of AI technologies, and a single perceived failure could result in outsized reputational harm,” Anthropic said. “Data center development has prompted public controversy and regulatory scrutiny regarding environmental impact, land and water use, and the allocation of limited power resources.”The filing contrasts with SpaceX’s S-1, which had no mention of climate change. SpaceX subsequently amended its S-1 to add water scarcity as a risk factor.
Anthropic 还提到其环境、社会和治理(ESG)实践和报告面临“日益增加的审视”,“无论在美国还是国际上均是如此”。并指出“特别关注与 AI 及其对社会和环境影响相关的担忧”,包括其业务高耗电的性质、公众对用水量的担忧,以及对关键矿产的依赖。
Anthropic also referred to “increasing scrutiny” related to its ESG practices and reporting “both in the United States and internationally.”And it mentioned a “particular focus on concerns relating to AI and its impact on society and the environment,” including the power-intensive nature of its business, public concern about water usage and the reliance on critical minerals.
“部分投资者可能会利用这些非财务绩效因素来指导其投资策略,在某些情况下,如果他们认为我们与ESG相关的政策和行动不充分,可能会选择不投资我们。”
“Some investors may use these non-financial performance factors to guide their investment strategies and, in some cases, may choose not to invest in us if they believe our policies and actions relating to ESG are inadequate.”
