- Anthropic is launching a $150 million fellowship program called Claude Corps, which will embed 1,000 AI-trained fellows in nonprofits across the country to help them use AI more effectively.
- The initiative is funded by Anthropic’s commitment, including paying felows and providing grants and free credits to host organizations.
- Anthropic aims to balance profits and social impact; the company is run as a public benefit corporation, and its co-founders have pledged to donate 80% of their wealth.
- The company has been outspoken about the risks of AI, collaborating with Pope Leo XIV on AI regulation, and has previously resisted the U.S. military from using its AI technology without restrictions.
- The program targets early-career individuals from diverse backgrounds in an effort to introduce AI knowledge early and broadly; partnerships with organizations like CodePath will help in recruiting.
- Anthropic is also donating $200 million to support an economic framework for workers displaced by AI, aiming to study and address the societal impacts of AI adoption.
