Anthropic says it will commit 5% of its shares to 'public benefit fund'

Summary

Anthropic says it will commit 5% of its shares to a Public Benefit Fund that makes donations for the "public good", with an extra 2% possible at its board's discretion. The fund's shares would not be used for lobbying or political donations in the US or overseas, as the company announces this while preparing a potential stock market listing that could value it above $1tn.
