Anthropic is committing $150 million（約240億円） to place 1,000 AI-trained fellows at nonprofits, while also pledging $200 million（約320億円） for AI workforce displacement research, as the $965 billion（約150兆円） company seeks to balance profit with social responsibility before a planned public offering.

What happened: Anthropic announced Claude Corps, a fellowship program that will hire and embed 1,000 fellows trained in Claude (the company's AI chatbot) at nonprofits for a year. The company will also provide at least 400 host organizations with $10,000 grants and free credits. Separately, Anthropic announced $200 million（約320億円） in donations to support economic frameworks for workers displaced by AI, starting with research into the issues created by AI adoption.

Why it matters: Anthropic's co-founders have pledged to donate 80% of their wealth and established the company as a public benefit corporation to balance financial goals and social impact. The company is moving toward a public offering and has been outspoken about AI risks—warning that advanced AI development should be paused if humans risk losing control, and refusing to allow unrestricted U.S. military use of its technology. However, critics like Bella DeVaan of the Institute of Policy Studies warn that companies cannot regulate themselves: "The fox can't guard the henhouse." DeVaan calls for government intervention to prevent AI from creating a permanent underclass of workers.

What to watch: Claude Corps fellowship applications will be accepted through July 17, and the program will be evaluated after its first year to determine whether it should continue and expand. The initiative is open to a broad range of young people early in their careers, with no degree requirement. CodePath, a nonprofit that helps first-generation and low-income students enter tech, will manage the program.
