Anthropic said it will transfer 5% of its shares to a Public Benefit Fund, with an additional 2% possible at the board’s discretion, and pledged not to use the fund for lobbying or political donations. Elon Musk followed by saying he plans to give one SpaceX share to every child in the U.S. next year, positioning both moves as public-oriented responses to mounting scrutiny of artificial intelligence. Anthropic has told investors its quarterly revenue rose sharply as it eyes a potential blockbuster listing. The announcements arrive amid intensifying debate over AI’s societal risks, with industry leaders calling for regulation and the U.S. naming a federal AI task force lead, even as the IMF warns a large share of global jobs could be affected by AI.
