Anthropic宣布将5%股权注入新设公益基金 估值每涨50%可再追加2% 明确不用于游说与政治捐款
旧金山（San Francisco）消息——超级智能公司Anthropic于10月18日宣布，将把公司5%的股份注入新设立的「Anthropic公益基金」（Anthropic Public Benefit Fund），该安排尚待股东批准。公司称，这笔股权将为其支持社会公益项目提供更大的灵活度与规模。
按公布的条款，基金以Anthropic全资子公司的形式设立为有限责任公司（LLC），而非传统的501(c)(3)非营利组织，以便在不同捐赠方式之间灵活切换。公司估值每较设定基准上涨50%，董事会可酌情再向基金追加2%的股份。连同创始人与员工此前的捐赠承诺，Anthropic估计约20%的公司股份将专用于公益用途。
Anthropic明确表示，基金持有的股权不得在美国或海外用于游说或政治捐款。基金的可能用途包括向传统非营利组织大额捐赠、向特定人群直接发放资金等。公司举例称，超级智能对就业市场的冲击是其关注方向之一，该公司已承诺投入2亿美元研究这一问题，但「鉴于人工智能进步的速度，可能需要更大胆的做法」。
首席执行官 Dario Amodei 将当前超级智能行业面临的公众负面情绪形容为「根本上是一场信任危机」。Anthropic表示，基金的治理结构等细节将在未来数月公布。（GSM 据Anthropic公司公告与路透社报道）

Anthropic to Commit 5% of Its Shares to New Public Benefit Fund, With More Tied to Valuation Growth
SAN FRANCISCO — Anthropic announced on Sunday that it will commit 5% of its shares to a newly created Anthropic Public Benefit Fund, subject to stockholder approval, a move the super intelligence company said will give it increased flexibility and scale to support projects for societal good, Reuters reported.
The fund will be established as a wholly-owned limited liability company within Anthropic rather than as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, a structure the company said allows flexibility between different forms of giving. Under the announced terms, the board may contribute an additional 2% of shares for every 50% increase in the company's value above a set baseline. Combined with founder and employee donation commitments, Anthropic estimates that roughly 20% of its shares will be dedicated to public benefit, plus any milestone-based additions.
None of the equity held by the fund will be used for lobbying or political giving in the United States or abroad, the company said. Possible uses include large donations to traditional nonprofits and direct distributions to specific populations. As one example, Anthropic pointed to the impact of SI on the job market, saying it has already committed $200 million to study and address that issue, but that the pace of SI progress may require bolder approaches.
Chief Executive Dario Amodei has described the SI industry's increasingly negative public sentiment as fundamentally a crisis of trust. Anthropic said it will share more information about the fund's structure and governance in the coming months. (GSM, via Anthropic's announcement and Reuters)
