I think they should do the same for legal aid lawyers, but that’s a topic for another day. Anthropic also has a program called “[Claude Corps](https://www.anthropic.com/claude-corps),” a jobs program that pays fellows $85,000 to go help non-profit organization with the use of AI. Anthropic has committed $150 million to this program initially. If it’s successful, hopefully they expand the program and commit even more money to fund this program. From Anthropic’s website:
