On Monday, Elon Musk made a solemn pledge that his company SpaceX would, in the coming year, bestow a single share upon "every child in America."

埃隆·马斯克于周一作出郑重承诺,称其麾下公司SpaceX将于来年向“美国每个孩子”赠予一股股份。

Just one day before this proposal was put forward, the artificial intelligence company Anthropic announced in a social media post that it intended to inject 5% of its shares into a new "public interest" fund.

这一提议提出仅一天之前,人工智能公司Anthropic便于社交媒体发文宣布,拟将其5%的股份注入一只新的“公共利益”基金。

Regarding the post published on Sunday, Musk wrote as follows: "I suggest simply giving the shares directly to the public."

就周日所发布的那条帖子,马斯克如此写道:“我建议索性将股份径直赠予公众。”

SpaceX is scheduled to disclose its quarterly earnings on Tuesday, while the company's share price closed at $146.03 on Friday.

SpaceX定于周二披露其季度财报,而该公司股价则于周五收报146.03美元。

Given that there are approximately 73 million children under the age of 18 in the United States, it follows that Musk's pledge amounts to roughly $10.66 billion.

鉴于美国约有7300万名18岁以下儿童,据此推算,马斯克这一承诺所涉金额约为106.6亿美元。

On Sunday, Anthropic stated that the shares it has pledged to contribute will be allocated to the Anthropic Public Benefit Fund—a newly established entity within the company.

Anthropic于周日表示,其承诺投入的股份将划入Anthropic公共利益基金——一个公司内部新设的实体。

As the shares appreciate in value, the fund's worth may likewise increase accordingly.

随着股份升值,该基金的价值亦可能随之增加。

Musk did not elaborate on how his pledge of shares would be fulfilled, but he added in the post: "This will be the first of many."

马斯克并未就其股份承诺将如何兑现作出进一步阐释,惟其在帖子中补充道:“这将是许多次中的第一次。”

The disclosures by Musk and Anthropic come at a time when Americans' apprehension about artificial intelligence is steadily mounting.

马斯克与Anthropic披露上述消息之际,恰逢美国民众对人工智能的戒惧之心与日俱增。

A new poll by the NORC Center for Public Affairs Research reveals that a majority of Americans (64%) consider the development of artificial intelligence to be "too fast," 27% of respondents describe its pace as "about right," and a mere 8% say it is developing "too slowly."

Reporters-NORC公共事务研究中心一项新民调揭示,多数美国人(64%)认定人工智能的发展“过快”,27%的受访者称其发展速度“大致适宜”,仅8%的人表示其发展“过慢”。

Last month, Dario Amodei of Anthropic, Sam Altman of OpenAI, Elon Musk of SpaceXAI and other prominent industry leaders collectively voiced the view that the development of artificial intelligence urgently needs to be slowed down.

Anthropic的达里奥·阿莫代伊、OpenAI的萨姆·奥尔特曼、SpaceXAI的马斯克以及其他知名行业领袖上月共同表态,认为人工智能的发展亟需放缓。

This consensus took shape just after a researcher at Anthropic resigned and issued a stark warning about the threat the technology poses to humanity.

这一共识的形成,恰逢Anthropic一名研究员辞职并对该技术之于人类的威胁发出严厉警示之后。

However, multiple obstacles — competition at both the domestic and international levels, the profit motive, and opposition from President Donald Trump, among others — have all thwarted efforts to coordinate control over the pace of AI development.

然而,国内与国际层面的竞争、利润驱动,以及总统唐纳德·特朗普的反对等多重障碍,均阻碍了协调一致地管控人工智能发展步伐的努力。

Musk has quietly joined the ranks of the largest known donors in this year's midterm elections, having contributed more than $276 million since July in an effort to preserve the Republican Party's majority in Congress.

马斯克已悄然跻身今年中期选举中已知的最大捐助者之列,自7月以来累计捐出逾2.76亿美元,力图维系共和党在国会中的多数地位。

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, together with five other co-founders of the company, established Anthropic as a public benefit corporation—a designation that for-profit enterprises may elect, intended to reconcile financial objectives with social impact.

Anthropic首席执行官达里奥·阿莫代伊与该公司另外五位联合创始人一道,将Anthropic设立为一家公共利益公司——此乃营利性企业所择定的一种 designation,旨在衡平财务目标与社会影响。

Anthropic is planning to launch a large-scale initial public offering as early as November.

Anthropic正筹划最早于11月启动一场大规模首次公开募股。

In June, the company stated that it had submitted a confidential filing to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission regarding the proposed IPO.

该公司于6月表示,其已就拟议中的IPO向美国证券交易委员会递交了保密申请。

In the same month, Musk's SpaceX made its Wall Street debut as a publicly listed company, a move that propelled Musk into the ranks of the world's first trillionaire.

同月,马斯克旗下的SpaceX以上市公司身份在华尔街完成首次亮相,此举使马斯克跻身世界首位万亿富翁之列。

However, since the share price peaked just days after that IPO, SpaceX stock has tumbled a cumulative 35.3%, which means Musk is now merely a billionaire.

然而,自那次IPO后数日股价触及峰值以来,SpaceX股价已累计下挫35.3%,这意味着马斯克如今仅是亿万富翁。
