Anthropic 承诺将 5% 股份注入“公共利益基金”
Anthropic says it’s committing 5% of its shares to a ‘public benefit fund’
Anthropic 宣布设立“公共利益基金”，承诺投入公司 5% 的股份，并保留在公司估值每增长 50% 时再追加 2% 股份的权利。基金作为公司全资子公司运作，资金用途包括向传统非营利组织大额捐赠或向特定人群定向分配，并预留空间应对 AI 对就业市场的影响。Anthropic 表示，鉴于 AI 进展速度，可能需要更激进的方式，基金的治理结构与具体决策机制将在未来数月公布。
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.
