  "account": "Anthropic, a US-based AI company, plans to allocate 5% of its shares to a new public benefit fund, which could increase as the company's valuation grows. The fund, called the Anthropic Public Benefit Fund, will support donations to non-profit organizations, direct payments to certain population groups, and measures to mitigate the impact of AI on workers. The fund's resources cannot be used for lobbying or political donations. A total of around 20% of Anthropic's shares are now earmarked for public purposes. The fund will be established as a wholly-owned subsidiary.",
