Anthropic承诺将5%股份投入公益基金
Anthropic says it’s committing 5% of its shares to a ‘public benefit fund’
Anthropic宣布设立公司内部全资公益基金，承诺投入5%股份，并在公司价值每增长50%时可选再追加2%，以获得更大的灵活性和规模来支持社会公益项目。公司举例称资金可能用于向传统非营利组织大额捐赠或向特定人群直接发放，并表示鉴于AI进展速度可能需要更大胆的做法，基金将有弹性去推进。
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.
