Facing criticism that AI destroys jobs and concentrates wealth, Anthropic will contribute a 5% stake to a public-interest fund, adding 2% each time its value rises 50%; OpenAI funds AI research and job-loss responses via its foundation; Musk pledged SpaceX shares to U.S. children. The pledges could total tens of billions of dollars.
