KI: Anthropic will fünf Prozent seiner Aktien in Gemeinwohl-Fonds stecken
Der Claude-Entwickler will Beschäftigte bei den Folgen künstlicher Intelligenz unterstützen und gemeinnützige Projekte fördern. Die Aktionäre müssen den Plänen noch zustimmen.
Anthropic, the AI company, will place five percent of its shares into a new Community Benefit Fund, the US firm announced on Sunday. The investment could increase as the company's valuation rises, according to the statement. The AI developer, known for its AI assistant "Claude," is currently planning one of the largest stock offerings in history as a "Public Benefit Corporation."
This US legal structure obliges the management to consider broader societal interests alongside profit generation for investors. Anthropic positions itself as a pioneer in AI safety, repeatedly warning about the technology's potential to develop "self-perpetuating behaviors." The announced "Anthropic Public Benefit Fund" will support donations to charitable organizations, direct payments to specific populations, and measures to mitigate the impact of AI on workers.
The fund's assets will not be used for lobbying or political donations, both domestically and internationally. Altogether, nearly 20 percent of Anthropic's shares are earmarked for public purposes, with the fund set to be established as a wholly-owned subsidiary.
