今天，我们承诺将 Anthropic 的部分股份转入 Anthropic 公益基金，这是一个新设立的实体，其结构设计使得公司价值增长时，所持股份比例也随之增加。经股东批准后，今日将承诺转入 Anthropic 股份的 5%，随后每当公司价值较设定基准线增长 50%，董事会可酌情再追加 2% 的股份。
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.
作为一家公益公司，我们在实现使命过程中大部分工作都在公司内部进行：与 AI 安全和可解释性相关的研究；应用生物医学研究；为非营利组织和科学机构提供 Claude 的折扣。这些活动既具有公益属性，也具备营利价值，因此我们直接将其纳入公司运营。
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.
Anthropic 公益基金将具备更大的灵活性和规模，使我们能够以新方式推进使命：例如，我们可能探索向传统非营利组织进行大额捐赠，或直接向特定人群发放资助。
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.
其中一个例子是劳动力市场影响。AI 可能创造巨大的经济价值，但也可能导致许多工人面临不稳定状况。Anthropic 已承诺投入 2 亿美元用于研究和应对这一问题，但鉴于 AI 发展的速度，可能需要更大胆的方法。该基金将具备灵活性，以开展此类工作。
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.
我们将 Anthropic 公益基金设立为全资控股的有限责任公司（LLC），而非 501(c)(3) 或其他形式，以便在不同形式的公益捐赠之间保持调整空间。LLC 所持有的 Anthropic 股权将不用于在美国或境外进行游说或政治捐赠。
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.
由于基金的结构设计，Anthropic 越成长，可用于专门致力于公共利益的公司股份比例就越大。科技公司向高管提供递增式薪酬奖励是常见做法。而我们则选择将这些股权用于公益目的。
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.
这建立在我们联合创始人和员工已经作出的承诺之上。Anthropic 成立时，联合创始人承诺捐赠其持有的 80% 股权，自成立以来，我们还开展了股权捐赠匹配计划，允许员工承诺捐赠股权，而 Anthropic 进行匹配。大约一半的员工参与了该计划。结合今天的公告，Anthropic 股份大约有 20% 将用于公共利益，此外，如果公司达到特定估值里程碑，还可能增加额外的百分比。
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.
在未来几个月，我们将分享更多关于 Anthropic 公益基金的结构和治理的信息，包括可能增加其持股比例的估值里程碑。我们还将在即将发布的公益报告中报告我们迄今为止在使命方面的进展。
In the coming months, we will share more about the Anthropic Public Benefit Fund’s structure and governance, including the valuation milestones that may add to its stake. We will also report on our progress to date against our mission in an upcoming public benefit report.
