Anthropic, the company behind the Claude models, says it will commit part of its shares to a new entity called the Anthropic Public Benefit Fund. It starts with 5% of the company's shares, subject to stockholder approval, and the board can add another 2% for every 50% increase in the company's value above a set baseline.

The company says most of its mission work happens inside the company, such as AI safety research, applied biomedical research and discounts on Claude for nonprofits and scientific institutions. The fund gives it more flexibility, for example large donations to traditional nonprofits or direct distributions to specific groups of people.

One example it gives is AI's effect on the labour market: Anthropic says AI may create enormous economic value but could also cause instability for many workers. It has already committed $200 million to studying and addressing the issue, and says the pace of AI progress may call for bolder approaches.

The fund will be a wholly owned LLC, and none of its Anthropic equity will be used for lobbying or political giving, in the US or abroad. Combined with earlier pledges by its co-founders and employees, Anthropic says roughly 20% of its shares will be dedicated to the public good. It plans to share more about the fund's structure and governance in the coming months.
