Anthropic 和埃隆·马斯克在重新分配人工智能繁荣部分收益方面提出了截然不同的方案。Claude 开发商承诺将其 5% 的股份捐赠给一个前所未有的新基金,用于“公共利益”,而马斯克则承诺向“美国每个孩子”赠送一份 SpaceX 股份,主张这种直接分配方式,因为随着该行业面临日益增长的公众审查,这种做法正变得越来越重要。
Anthropic and Elon Musk laid out starkly contrasting approaches to redistributing part of the proceeds of the AI boom, with the Claude developer committing 5% of its shares to an unprecedented new fund for the “public good,” while Musk pledged to give one SpaceX share to “every kid in America,” arguing for such direct distributions as the burgeoning sector faces growing public scrutiny.
随着人工智能系统出现安全漏洞以及行业领袖发出关于失控人工智能发展可能带来严重甚至生存性风险的严峻警告,人工智能安全问题日益突出,此外还有公众对潜在失业的担忧。
AI safety concerns have multiplied following security breaches by AI systems and dire warnings from industry heads about the possibility of severe, even existential, risks of runaway AI development in addition to public concerns about potential job losses.
虽然 Anthropic 正在通过包括非营利性捐赠和向特定人群直接捐助等方式分配财富,但马斯克表示他建议“直接将股份交给公众”。
While Anthropic is betting on distributing wealth through ways including nonprofit donations and direct contributions to specific populations, Musk has said he recommends “giving the shares directly to the public”.
“明年,我将把我的一份 SpaceX 股份送给美国每个孩子。这将是许多类似行动的第一个,”马斯克在 10 月 19 日早间的一篇帖子中表示,他经营着 Anthropic 的竞争对手 SpaceXSI。截至 6 月,他持有该公司约 64.2 亿股股份。SpaceX 股价在下午交易中上涨了约 1%。
“Next year, I will give one of my SpaceX shares to every kid in America. This will be the first of many,” Musk, who runs Anthropic rival SpaceXSI, said in a post early on Oct 19. He held about 6.42 billion shares in the company as of June. SpaceX shares were up about 1% in afternoon trading.
Anthropic 表示,其计划将使其在为人类福祉进行捐赠时具有更大的灵活性和规模。
Anthropic said that its initiative will give it more flexibility and scale to make donations for the benefit of humanity.
该公司正计划以公益公司形式进行历史上规模最大的首次公开募股(IPO),这种法律结构要求管理层在更广泛的公共利益与盈利目标之间取得平衡。
The company is planning one of the biggest IPOs in history as a public benefit corporation, a legal structure that requires management to balance broader public interests with profitability goals.
此次上市可能使其估值达到约 2 万亿美元(约 2.6 万亿新元),尽管路透社上周独家报道称,一些投资者正在考虑大约 1.5 万亿美元的较低估值。那样的话,用于该基金的 5% 股份价值将在 750 亿美元至 1000 亿美元之间。
The flotation could value it at roughly US$2 trillion (S$2.6 trillion), although Reuters exclusively reported last week that some investors are weighing a lower valuation of around US$1.5 trillion. That would value a 5% stake toward the fund in a range of US$75 billion to US$100 billion.
这一数额将远超马斯克股份赠送计划的潜在价值,根据美国人口普查数据显示美国有 7200 万儿童,按当前股价计算,其价值约为 110 亿美元。
That would dwarf the still substantial potential value of Musk’s share giveaway, which would be worth roughly US$11 billion at current share prices based on US census figures showing there are 72 million children in America.
“直接向人民发放股份——即对未来经济的持股——是正确之道,”埃隆·马斯克(Musk)坚称。
“Giving shares, which are stakes in the future economy, directly to the people is the way,” Musk argued.
马斯克的举动发生在白宫数月前启动“特朗普账户”(Trump Accounts)的背景下,这是一项从婴儿到成年的投资计划,向2025年至2028年出生的美国公民提供价值1000美元的政府资助投资账户,家庭可在此基础上继续增资。
Musk’s move comes months after the White House launched “Trump Accounts,” a cradle-to-adulthood investment programme that will provide US citizens born between 2025 and 2028 a government-funded investment account of US$1,000 that families can build on.
在允许个人和企业捐赠股权股份的选项下,众多美国顶级公司已承诺支持该计划,包括戴尔(Dell)、维萨(Visa)、美孚(Micron)和达美航空(Delta Air Lines)等,他们表示将通过雇主匹配或额外资金参与。
With the option for individuals and corporations to donate equity shares to the accounts, many top US companies have already pledged support for the programme with employer matches or additional funding, including Dell, Visa, Micron and Delta Air Lines.
2026年早些时候,SpaceX总裁格温内斯·肖特韦尔(Gwynne Shotwell)及其丈夫承诺将他们在SpaceX的股份一部分分给该计划下的两百多万名儿童。
Earlier in 2026, SpaceX President Gwynne Shotwell and her husband pledged a share of their SpaceX stock to each of more than two million children under the Trump initiative.
目前尚不清楚马斯克的股份捐赠是否与特朗普账户关联,或是否设有任何锁定期。SpaceX未立即回应关于更多细节的询问。
It was not immediately clear whether Musk’s share donations would be linked to Trump Accounts or come with any kind of lockup period. SpaceX did not immediately respond to a request for more details.
“这相当于大量股份……我相信总会有人乐意接手,”达科他财富管理(Dakota Wealth Management)高级投资组合经理罗伯特·帕维尔(Robert Pavlik)表示,他管理的投资组合中并未持有SpaceX股份。
“That’s a lot of shares ... I’m sure somebody will be happy to take them,” said Robert Pavlik, senior portfolio manager at Dakota Wealth Management, who does not hold SpaceX shares in the portfolios he manages.
“这看起来像是一次宣传噱头……它会产生积极的公众情绪吗?或许会。”迈克尔·德尔(Michael Dell)及其妻子苏珊(Susan)承诺为特朗普账户捐赠65亿美元现金,专门用于贫困儿童。相比之下,马斯克的捐赠价值将取决于SpaceX股价的波动性。
“It feels like a publicity stunt ... Will it create positive public sentiment? Perhaps.”Michael Dell and his wife, Susan, have pledged US$6.25 billion in cash for Trump Accounts, aimed specifically at underprivileged children. In contrast, the value of Musk’s contribution will depend on SpaceX’s often volatile share performance.
大部分马斯克的慈善活动通过其成立的“马斯克基金”(Musk Foundation)开展,据称该基金持有超过140亿美元的资产。
Most of Musk’s philanthropic efforts have been through the Musk Foundation, which reportedly holds more than US$14 billion in assets.
伯克希尔·哈撒韦公司前任主席沃伦·巴菲特(Warren Buffett)作为慈善领域最具影响力的人物之一,据报道迄今已捐赠600亿美元,其余约1500亿美元的财富大部分也计划用于慈善事业。
Berkshire Hathaway Chairman Emeritus Warren Buffett, one of the most prominent figures in philanthropy, is reported to have given away US$60 billion so far, with most of the rest of his roughly US$150 billion fortune slated for philanthropy too.
比尔及梅琳达·盖茨基金会自2000年成立以来已累计捐赠超过1000亿美元,其中部分资金来自巴菲特的捐赠。
The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has distributed more than US$100 billion since its founding in 2000, with some of that fuelled by donations from Buffett.
劳动力市场影响被引用。人工智能公司Anthropic将自身定位为以安全为先的人工智能实验室,表示人工智能可能对人类构成“灾难性或生存性风险”。该公司在其博客文章中表示,其公益基金可能支持包括向特定人群直接发放资金以及应对人工智能对劳动力市场影响的举措,此举建立在其此前宣布的2亿美元承诺之上,用于研究和应对劳动力市场的颠覆。
Labour market impact cited Anthropic, which has positioned itself as a safety-first AI lab, has said AI could pose “catastrophic or existential risks to humanity.”The company said in its blog post its Public Benefit Fund could support initiatives including direct distributions to specific populations and efforts to address AI’s impact on the labour market, building on a previously announced US$200 million commitment to study and address labour-market disruption.
该公司提出的基金将作为全资有限责任公司成立,并在董事会酌情决定的情况下,每当公司价值较未披露的基准线增长50%,将额外获得Anthropic股份的2%。
Its proposed fund would be established as a wholly owned limited liability company and would receive an additional 2% of Anthropic’s shares, at the board’s discretion, for every 50% increase in the company’s value above a baseline that has yet to be disclosed.
全球企业在大力投资人工智能后裁减了数千个岗位,其中许多主要是科技公司,指出技术快速采用带来的效率提升。
Global companies have cut thousands of jobs after investing heavily in AI, with many, primarily tech firms, pointing to higher efficiencies from the technology’s rapid adoption.
不用于政治捐助。人工智能巨头表示,其基金持有的股权不会在美国或国外用于游说或政治捐助。
Not for political giving The AI giant said none of the equity held by its fund would be used for lobbying or political giving in the US or abroad.
美国政策制定者正在考虑对人工智能加强监管,而企业则正加大努力,以塑造该技术的监管方式。
US policymakers are weighing greater oversight of AI and companies are stepping up efforts to shape how the technology is regulated.
结合其联合创始人承诺捐赠其股权的80%以及员工捐赠匹配计划,Anthropic股份的大约20%将用于公共目的,不包括以后可能新增的股份。
Combined with its co-founders’ pledge to donate 80% of their equity and an employee donation matching programme, roughly 20% of Anthropic’s shares will be dedicated to public purposes, excluding any additional shares added later.
Anthropic表示,将很快公布该基金的治理结构、架构以及可能扩大其持股比例的估值门槛。
Anthropic said it would say more soon on the fund’s governance, structure and the valuation thresholds that could expand its ownership stake.
