Anthropic and \u200cthe Gates Foundation have pledged $200 million to back artificial intelligence-related \u200bpublic goods and areas including health and education, \u2060they said on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Support from Anthropic\u2019s technical staff and usage credits for its Claude AI will account for its half of \u200cthe financial commitment, while the Bill Gates co-founded Gates Foundation will provide grant funding, program design and expertise, officials \u200ctold Reuters.<\/p>\n

The commitment will span four years.<\/p>\n

The news \u200cfollows \u2060a $50 million pact that the Gates Foundation and \u2060OpenAI announced in January to support 1,000 African clinics and communities with AI by 2028.<\/p>\n

Against a backdrop of fears that AI could displace \u200bjobs and widen inequality, the \u200cnew partnership is hoping to ensure the technology benefits more people.<\/p>\n

One area of focus is language accessibility.<\/p>\n

AI systems have performed poorly in writing and translating dozens of African \u200clanguages, so Anthropic and the foundation want to support \u200bbetter data collection and labeling that would be released publicly to help improve models across the \u2060industry, said Janet Zhou, a Gates Foundation director.<\/p>\n

Another area under consideration is releasing so-called knowledge graphs that could help AI \u200csystems better meet the needs of teachers in sub-Saharan Africa and India, Zhou said.<\/p>\n

The public-goods focus has come from \u201cthe needs of different partners and governments, including some of the fears that they may have around proprietary lock-in and sovereignty,\u201d Zhou said.<\/p>\n

One initiative will equip research centers to use \u200cClaude to predict drug candidates for treating HPV and preeclampsia, diseases that \u200bhave been less commercially attractive for pharmaceutical companies to research, Zhou and Anthropic\u2019s Elizabeth Kelly said.<\/p>\n

Anthropic, a start-up \u2060backed by Google and Amazon.com whose value has soared on \u2060demand for its AI and coding tools, is embracing the work to fulfil what Kelly described as its \u200cfounding mission to benefit humanity.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis announcement is really core to who we are as a company,\u201d said Kelly, \u200bwho leads Anthropic\u2019s beneficial deployments team.<\/p>\n
