Anthropic and Musk Propose Competing Plans to Share AI Wealth With the Public
Anthropic announced it will commit 5% of its shares to a public benefit fund that could support charities or make direct payments, including to workers displaced by AI. Days later, Elon Musk called for shares to go straight to the public and pledged that every American child would receive one share of SpaceX next year. The announcements follow an AP-NORC poll in which 64% of Americans said AI is developing too fast. Anthropic has also committed $200 million to studying and addressing AI's effects on employment. Critics note that a company-controlled fund raises governance questions, while a single share per child may be symbolic and not targeted at those most affected.
