Anthropic launches Claude Corps: $150M nonprofit AI fellowship

Anthropic is committing $150m to launch Claude Corps, a national fellowship that places early-career individuals in nonprofits to build and deploy AI tools.

The program directly addresses a tension Anthropic acknowledges: the companies building transformative AI have a responsibility to ensure benefits are broadly shared, not hoarded.

Rather than just issuing a policy paper, this is a heavy capital allocation—the kind of move that forces a real conversation about who gets access to frontier models and who learns to wield them.
