Anthropic 宣布将 5% 股份投入公共福利基金
Anthropic says it’s committing 5% of its shares to a ‘public benefit fund’
Anthropic 宣布设立公共福利基金，将把公司 5% 的股份投入该基金，基金为公司全资实体；公司估值每增长 50%，可选择再追加 2%。资金用途的设想包括向传统非营利组织大额捐赠或向特定人群直接分配，Anthropic 此前已承诺投入 2 亿美元研究 AI 对就业市场的影响。公司表示将在未来几个月公布基金的结构与治理信息。
Anthropic announced today that it’s creating a “public benefit fund” that will give the company “increased flexibility and scale” to support projects for societal good.
Anthropic said that it will commit 5% of its shares to the fund — structured as a wholly-owned entity within the company — with the option to contribute an additional 2% for every 50% increase in Anthropic’s value. And it offered some broad-strokes ideas for how this money might actually be used, such as “large donations to traditional nonprofits or direct distributions to specific populations.”
There’s also the impact that AI might have on the job market, which Anthropic has already committed $200 million to study. But the company said, “Given the pace of AI progress, bolder approaches may be needed. The Fund will have the versatility to pursue them.”
Anthropic’s announcement comes as the AI industry faces increasingly negative public sentiment, which CEO Dario Amodei has described as “fundamentally a crisis of trust.”
If you’re wondering who will actually decide which public benefits are worth funding, Anthropic said it will share more information about structure and governance in the coming months.
