Artificial intelligence company Anthropic is proposing a new corporate structure that would grant its CEO Dario Amodei and his six co-founders collective voting control over most corporate matters, according to a report by The Information. This move mirrors the founder-control structure employed by Palantir Technologies.
The proposed arrangement would give the seven co-founders a combined 50.1% of the company's voting power. This control would be maintained as long as at least three of the co-founders continue to hold a minimum number of shares in Anthropic.
