Ben Bernanke Joins Anthropic Oversight Trust

Former Federal Reserve Chair Ben Bernanke has been appointed to Anthropic's Long-Term Benefit Trust, an independent oversight body responsible for ensuring the AI company develops technology responsibly and for humanity's long-term benefit. Bernanke, a Nobel Prize-winning economist, brings expertise in managing economic crises and understanding disruptive technologies, which Anthropic says will help the company anticipate and respond to AI's effects on global economies and workforces. The LTBT trustees are independent of Anthropic's management and investors, with no financial stake in the company, serving as a check on how the AI firm develops and deploys its technology.
