Anthropic 周日表示,计划将其 5% 的股份捐赠给一个新设立的公益基金,随着公司估值的增长,该比例可能会增加。

Anthropic said Sunday it plans to commit 5% of its shares to a new public benefit fund, with the stake potentially increasing as the company's valuation grows.

在获得股东批准的前提下,该基金将立即承诺捐赠 Anthropic 5% 的股份,董事会将根据自身酌情决定,每当公司价值较未披露的设定基准线增长 50% 时,额外追加 2% 的股份。

Subject to shareholder approval, the fund would immediately commit 5% of Anthropic's shares, with the board adding, at its discretion, an additional 2% for every 50% increase in the company's value above a set baseline that has yet to be disclosed.

该公司表示,该基金可用于“探索大额捐赠”——包括向传统非营利组织捐款,或作为针对特定人群的直接分配——或用于“大胆的方法”来研究和应对人工智能对就业的颠覆和替代。

The fund may be used to "explore large donations" — including to traditional nonprofits or as direct distributions for specific populations — or for "bolder approaches" to study and address AI's disruption and displacement of jobs, the company said.

皮尤研究中心(Pew Research Center)8 月的一份报告发现,71% 的成年人认为人工智能将在未来两年导致美国就业岗位减少。

An August Pew Research Center report found that 71% of adults think AI will lead to fewer jobs in the U.S. over the next two years.

该基金将以全资有限责任公司的形式成立,而非 501(c)(3) 免税非营利组织或其他形式,以便在不同的捐赠形式之间进行调整,声明中称。该有限责任公司持有的股权不会在美国或国际上用于游说或政治捐赠,Anthropic 表示。

The fund will be established as a wholly owned limited liability company rather than a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit or other format to adjust between different forms of giving, the release said. Equity held by the LLC will not be used for lobbying or political giving in the U.S. or internationally, Anthropic said.

Anthropic 向投资者透露,其第三季度收入达到 168 亿美元,此前有报道称其计划在 11 月进行首次公开募股(IPO),CNBC 报道了这一消息。

Anthropic told investors its third-quarter revenue stands at $16.8 billion ahead of its planned initial public offering reportedly slated for November, CNBC reported.

Anthropic 宣布设立公益基金的时机既是为首次公开募股做准备的必要步骤,也从形象角度来看是“有益的”,尤其是在人工智能正在重塑就业市场的背景下,IPO 咨询公司 Class V Group 的合伙人 Lise Buyer 对 CNBC 表示。

The timing of Anthropic's public fund announcement is both mandatory to prepare for an initial public offering, and "beneficial from an image perspective," especially as AI reshapes the jobs market, Lise Buyer, partner at IPO advisory firm Class V Group, told CNBC.

Buyer 表示,如果该基金用于支持再培训或帮助在技术颠覆其岗位的工人寻找替代就业机会,Anthropic 的这一举措可能会被积极看待。

Buyer said Anthropic's move could be seen favorably if the funds support retraining or help workers find alternative employment when the technology disrupts their jobs.

她补充道:“当然,这也是在人工智能正受到严格审视之时,提升其声誉的一部分。”

"Of course, it is also to burnish their reputation at a time when AI is coming under significant scrutiny," she added.

Anthropic表示,未来几个月将进一步披露该基金的组织架构与治理机制,包括可能促使持股比例提升的估值里程碑。公司还称,将在即将发布的公益报告中汇报基金的进展情况。

Anthropic said it will share more about the fund structure and governance in the coming months, including valuation milestones that may increase the stake. It said it will also share progress on the fund in an upcoming public benefit report.

针对Anthropic的公告,特斯拉与SpaceX首席执行官埃隆·马斯克在社交平台X上表示:“我建议直接把股份分给公众。”

In response to Anthropic's announcement, Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk said on X that he "recommend[s] giving the shares directly to the public."
