Anthropic Plans Fund to Support Workers Affected by AI

Anthropic plans to allocate five percent of its shares to a new public benefit fund, which will also explore direct payments to workers at risk of job loss. This fund is company-owned, allowing Anthropic to maintain control as it approaches a potential IPO. By offering direct payment options, Anthropic sets itself apart from its competitors in the industry. Elon Musk commented on the situation via X, suggesting that the company should give shares directly to the public. This move reflects the growing trend of supporting workers amid rapid changes in the job market due to AI.
