As reported by Reuters, Anthropic, a frontrunner in the AI sector, and Elon Musk, the wealthiest individual globally, have put forth distinct strategies for sharing the prosperity spurred by the AI surge. Anthropic intends to earmark 5% of its shares for a public interest fund, with the potential to contribute additional shares as its valuation escalates. This move aims to bolster AI safety research and tackle challenges like unemployment. Concurrently, Musk has floated the idea of directly distributing shares to the general populace, vowing to bestow one SpaceX share upon every child in the United States. The divergences between these two approaches could shape how the wealth generated by AI ultimately benefits society at large.
