Investing in the public benefit

Today, we’re committing a portion of Anthropic’s shares to the Anthropic Public Benefit Fund, a new entity with a structure that increases the stake as the company grows. Subject to stockholder approval, 5% of Anthropic’s shares will be committed today, with an additional 2% added at the board’s discretion for every 50% increase in the company’s value above a set baseline.

今天，我们将 Anthropic 的部分股份投入到“Anthropic 公益基金”（Anthropic Public Benefit Fund）中。这是一个全新的实体，其结构设计旨在随着公司的成长而增加持股比例。在获得股东批准的前提下，今天将投入 Anthropic 5% 的股份，此后公司估值每在既定基准上增长 50%，董事会将酌情额外增加 2% 的股份。

As a public benefit corporation, most of our work in pursuit of our mission takes place inside the company: research relevant to AI safety and interpretability; applied biomedical research; discounts on Claude for nonprofits and scientific institutions. These activities have both a public benefit component and for-profit value, so we house them directly in the company.

作为一家公益公司，我们为实现使命所做的大部分工作都在公司内部进行：包括与人工智能安全和可解释性相关的研究、应用生物医学研究，以及为非营利组织和科研机构提供 Claude 折扣。这些活动既具有公益属性，也具备商业价值，因此我们将其直接置于公司内部运营。

The Anthropic Public Benefit Fund will have increased flexibility and scale, enabling us to pursue our mission in new ways: for example, we might explore large donations to traditional nonprofits or direct distributions to specific populations.

“Anthropic 公益基金”将拥有更高的灵活性和规模，使我们能够以新的方式追求使命：例如，我们可能会探索向传统非营利组织进行大额捐赠，或直接向特定群体进行分配。

One example is labor market impacts. AI may generate enormous economic value, but it could also cause instability for many workers. Anthropic has already committed $200 million to studying and addressing this issue, but given the pace of AI progress, bolder approaches may be needed. The Fund will have the versatility to pursue them.

劳动力市场的影响就是一个例子。人工智能可能会创造巨大的经济价值，但也可能给许多劳动者带来不稳定因素。Anthropic 此前已承诺投入 2 亿美元用于研究和解决这一问题，但鉴于人工智能的发展速度，可能需要更果敢的应对方案。该基金将具备追求这些方案的灵活性。

We’re establishing the Anthropic Public Benefit Fund as a wholly-owned LLC—rather than a 501(c)(3) or other format—to give adjustability between different forms of giving. None of the Anthropic equity held by the LLC will be used for lobbying or political giving, in the US or abroad.

我们将“Anthropic 公益基金”设立为一家全资有限责任公司（LLC），而非 501(c)(3) 或其他形式，以便在不同捐赠形式之间保持可调整性。该有限责任公司持有的任何 Anthropic 股权都不会用于在美国境内或境外的游说或政治捐款。

Because of the way the Fund is structured, the more Anthropic grows, the larger the share of the company that can be dedicated expressly to the public good. It is common practice for tech companies to offer escalating compensation awards to their executives. We are instead directing that equity to the public benefit.

由于该基金的结构设计，Anthropic 发展得越快，能够专门用于公共利益的公司股份比例就越大。科技公司为高管提供递增的薪酬奖励是惯例，而我们则选择将这部分股权导向公共利益。

This builds on commitments our co-founders and employees have already made. When Anthropic was founded, our co-founders pledged to donate 80% of their equity holdings, and since founding we have also operated an equity donation match program that allows employees to pledge equity which Anthropic matches. Approximately half of our employees participate in this program. When combined with today’s announcement, roughly 20% of Anthropic shares will be dedicated to the public good, plus any additional percentage that could be added if the company reaches specific valuation milestones.

这建立在我们联合创始人和员工此前所做承诺的基础之上。在 Anthropic 成立时，我们的联合创始人承诺捐赠其 80% 的股权持有量；自成立以来，我们还运营了一项股权捐赠匹配计划，允许员工认捐股权，并由 Anthropic 进行等额匹配。大约一半的员工参与了该计划。结合今天的公告，大约 20% 的 Anthropic 股份将致力于公共利益，此外，如果公司达到特定的估值里程碑，还可能增加额外的比例。
