Anthropic计划启动估值2万亿美元的首次公开募股,这一估值有望刷新纪录,甚至超越SpaceX。如此高的估值预计将为这家AI企业2500多名员工创造空前的财富。

但这笔潜在的数百万美元员工意外之财,似乎让公司高层感到担忧。据Axios报道,Anthropic如今在文化面试中问求职者:如果公司将来出于安全原因放弃AI发展愿景,并因此导致股价归零,他们会作何感想。

一名求职者在匿名职场网站Blind上讨论面试流程时表示:“我实话实说,如果股票跌到零,我肯定无法接受。我希望在恪守道德准则、创造最大社会价值的同时,打造可持续发展的企业。”

据报道,身家预估达155亿美元的公司首席执行官达里奥·阿莫迪担忧,公司巨额财务激励或将使其难以留住真正认同企业使命的员工。Anthropic是公益企业,长期以AI安全和“人类长远福祉”为核心定位,借此与OpenAI等竞争对手区分开来。

该公司的价值理念声明写道:“归根结底,使命才是我们相聚于此的原因。它赋予我们共同的目标,让我们能迅速协同行动,而不是因目标分歧而各自为战。”

科技人才争夺战白热化,Anthropic开出40万美元以上底薪

Anthropic一边在全球招揽顶尖AI人才,一边在应对这些人才一夜暴富可能带来的后果。

该公司正与Meta、谷歌、微软和OpenAI等巨头争夺顶尖研究人员和工程师,因此开出的薪酬包高达数十万美元。

例如,Anthropic目前为资深软件工程师岗位开出的底薪为32万至40.5万美元。公司仍有大量岗位待招。该公司目前有超500个空缺职位,其中包括约90个销售岗位、60多个AI研究与工程岗位,以及47个安全岗位。

据报道,由于竞争异常激烈,一些求职者为拿到录用通知,不惜花费超4000美元请私人教练辅导面试。

求职培训机构Interviewing.io创始人艾琳·勒纳(Aline Lerner)接受彭博社采访时表示:“花几千美元,薪水就能涨20万美元,这笔账很划算。”

AI造富浪潮或催生数千名百万富翁,阿莫迪警示:这可能“摧毁社会”

Anthropic潜在的造富效应,只是整个AI行业趋势的缩影。

SpaceX完成估值1.77万亿美元的IPO后,数千名现任及前任员工——从焊工、程序员到中层管理者和高管——随着公司股权价值飙升而跻身百万富翁行列。约有400名现任及前任SpaceX员工的股权价值超过1亿美元。

随着AI估值持续飙升,员工纷纷兑现股权激励,预计将有更多人迎来类似的财富爆发。但阿莫迪警告称,AI带来的经济红利可能集中在相对少数人手中。为此,他与包括妹妹丹妮拉·阿莫迪(Daniela Amodei)在内的另外六位联合创始人近期承诺,将捐出个人80%的财富。

达里奥·阿莫迪在今年早些时候发布的公开信中写道:“真正该担忧的是,财富集中到一定程度会摧毁社会。”

阿莫迪点名批评了愈发质疑慈善捐赠的科技界同行,认为富人有责任解决AI可能加剧的不平等问题。

阿莫迪写道:“富人有义务帮助解决这一问题。令我遗憾的是,近期不少富人(尤其是科技圈人士)表现出愤世嫉俗与虚无主义倾向,认定慈善事业本质上就是骗局或毫无价值。”

As Anthropic targets a $2 trillion IPO that could set records—and even eclipse SpaceX—the blockbuster valuation is expected to create an unprecedented amount of wealth for the AI company’s more than 2,500 employees.

But that potential multimillion-dollar employee windfall appears to be raising concern among company leaders. Anthropic is reportedly now asking job candidates during culture interviews how they would feel if the company someday abandoned its AI ambitions for safety reasons—and that decision caused its stock to fall to zero, according to Axios.

“I was honest and said no, I would not be happy if the stock went to 0,” one candidate, who discussed the interview process on the anonymous workplace site Blind, said. “I would want to align doing the most good and remaining ethical while building a sustaining business.”

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, who has an estimated net worth of $15.5 billion, has reportedly expressed concerns about the way the company’s enormous financial incentives could affect its ability to retain employees who are genuinely committed to its mission. Anthropic, a public benefit corporation, has long sought to distinguish itself from competition like OpenAI through a broader focus on AI safety and the “long-term benefit of humanity.”

“At the end of the day, the mission is what we’re all here for,” the company’s values statement reads. “It gives us a shared purpose and allows us to act swiftly together, rather than being pulled in multiple directions by competing goals.”

Anthropic is shelling out base salaries of $400K+ as the battle for tech talent rages on

Anthropic is simultaneously fighting to attract the world’s top AI talent while grappling with what could happen if that talent becomes extraordinarily wealthy in the process.

The company is competing with the likes of Meta, Google, Microsoft, and OpenAI for top researchers and engineers—and resultantly offering compensation packages well into the hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Anthropic is currently dangling base salaries of $320,000 to $405,000 for staff software engineering roles, for example. And there’s plenty more work to be done. The company currently has more than 500 open roles, including about 90 in sales, over 60 in AI research & engineering, and 47 in security.

In order to land an offer after such a highly competitive process, some candidates are reportedly spending more than $4,000 on private coaching to help them get hired.

“Spend a few thousand dollars, and now your salary goes up by $200,000—that calculus makes sense,” Aline Lerner, founder of prep company Interviewing.io, told Bloomberg.

AI’s wealth boom could create thousands of millionaires—but Amodei warns it could ‘break society’

The potential wealth creation at Anthropic is part of a much bigger phenomenon unfolding across the AI industry.

Following SpaceX’s $1.77 trillion IPO, thousands of current and former employees—from welders and coders to managers and executives—became millionaires as their company equity soared in value. Roughly 400 current and former SpaceX employees saw their stakes become worth more than $100 million.

As AI valuations continue to soar and employees cash in on equity grants, it is expected that more people will see similar wealth booms. However, Amodei has warned that the economic benefits of AI could become concentrated among a relatively small group of people. As a result, he and Anthropic’s other six cofounders, including his sister, Daniela Amodei, recently committed to giving away 80% of their wealth.

“The thing to worry about is a level of wealth concentration that will break society,” Dario Amodei wrote in a letter published earlier this year.

Amodei called out fellow tech leaders who have grown increasingly skeptical of philanthropy, arguing that wealthy individuals have a responsibility to help address the inequality that AI could exacerbate.

“Wealthy individuals have an obligation to help solve this problem,” Amodei wrote. “It is sad to me that many wealthy individuals (especially in the tech industry) have recently adopted a cynical and nihilistic attitude that philanthropy is inevitably fraudulent or useless.”
