Anthropic adds Ben Bernanke to AI oversight trust

Anthropic appointed former Federal Reserve chair Ben Bernanke to its Long-Term Benefit Trust, which can appoint some board members and advise on AI risk. Bernanke, who led the Fed through the 2008 financial crisis and won the 2022 Nobel Prize in Economics, joins Neil Buddy Shah, Richard Fontaine, and Mariano-Florentino Cuéllar. Trust members hold no Anthropic equity and are paid only for their time.
