Anthropic is silent as Musk urges the company to give shares of the public benefit fund to the public

Artificial intelligence giant Anthropic remains unclear on whether the company will consider giving shares pledged to a public benefit fund directly to Americans.

The company announced on Sunday that it plans to give 5% of its shares to the new Anthropic Public Benefit Fund, which can support non-profit donations or direct distribution to specific populations.

“We do part of the Anthropic shares to the Anthropic Public Benefit Fund, a new entity that is entirely dedicated to the public benefit. It will start with 5% of our shares. For every 50% increase in the value of the company over the set baseline, we can contribute up to 2% extra, subject to a total of 0% of our space. Anthropic shares are committed to the public good,” said Anthropic in a Sunday post on X.
