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.

Anthropic今日宣布，公司正在创建一个“公共利益基金”，这将为公司提供“更高的灵活性和规模”，以支持社会公益项目。Anthropic表示，将把其5%的股份投入该基金（该基金作为公司内部的全资实体构建），并有权在Anthropic估值每增长50%时，额外追加2%的股份。

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.

公司还就这笔资金的实际用途提供了一些大致的构想，例如“向传统非营利组织进行大额捐赠，或直接向特定人群进行分配”。此外，人工智能可能对就业市场产生影响，Anthropic此前已承诺投入2亿美元用于相关研究。

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.”

但该公司表示：“鉴于人工智能的发展速度，可能需要采取更大胆的方法。该基金将具备追求这些方法的灵活性。”Anthropic发布此公告之际，人工智能行业正面临日益负面的公众情绪，首席执行官Dario Amodei将其描述为“本质上是一场信任危机”。

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.

如果你想知道究竟由谁来决定哪些公共利益项目值得资助，Anthropic表示将在未来几个月内分享有关其结构和治理的更多信息。
