Anthropic, OpenAI and SpaceX plan to spend nearly $300 billion on charity
English text is being prepared.
The Washington Post reports that Anthropic, OpenAI and SpaceX are preparing charitable donations totaling close to $300 billion. Anthropic will donate 5% of its shares; if its valuation reaches $2 trillion at IPO, the fund could reach $100 billion, and its seven founders have separately pledged to give away 80% of their personal wealth. The OpenAI charitable foundation holds about a quarter of the company's shares, worth more than $180 billion, and has already put $855 million into philanthropic projects. Musk plans to give every American child a share of SpaceX next year, with the total possibly exceeding $11 billion. The report also notes that most of these donations are unlisted equity or future pledges, and the amount actually available depends on IPO valuations and share prices.

IT之家 10 月 23 日消息，《华盛顿邮报》昨日（10 月 22 日）发布博文，报道称 Anthropic、OpenAI 和 SpaceXSI 三家 AI 巨头正酝酿“现代史上规模最大的财富捐赠”，规模可能接近 3,000 亿美元（IT之家注：现汇率约合 2.01 万亿元人民币）。
Anthropic 宣布，将把公司 5% 股份捐入一个新的公益基金。若该公司上市时估值达到 2 万亿美元（现汇率约合 13.38 万亿元人民币），该基金规模可达 1,000 亿美元（现汇率约合 6,688.23 亿元人民币）；其七位创始人还承诺捐出个人财富的 80%。这笔资金可能用于补贴受 AI 自动化影响的特定人群，并资助相关研究。
OpenAI 的慈善基金会据称持有公司约四分之一股份，价值超过 1,800 亿美元（现汇率约合 1.2 万亿元人民币），并已投入 8.55 亿美元（现汇率约合 57.18 亿元人民币）用于公益项目。
马斯克则表示，计划明年向美国每个孩子赠送一份 SpaceX 股份，按 SpaceX 近期股价估算，捐赠总额可能超过 110 亿美元（现汇率约合 735.7 亿元人民币）。
不过该媒体也指出这里的“捐赠”大多是未上市股权或未来承诺，实际可支配金额高度取决于 Anthropic、OpenAI 的 IPO 估值和 SpaceX 股价。
