Story summary

On October 18, Anthropic, the artificial intelligence firm behind the Claude chatbot, announced it would commit 5% of its shares to a new public benefit fund.

The fund aims to support nonprofit organizations and initiatives addressing AI's impact on society, including labor markets and environmental concerns. None of the equity held by the fund will be used for lobbying or political contributions.
