Ben Bernanke Joins Anthropic's Long-Term Benefit Trust
Anthropic announced on July 9 that former Federal Reserve Chair and 2022 Nobel laureate Ben Bernanke joined its Long-Term Benefit Trust, the independent body that can appoint members to Anthropic's board and advises leadership on decisions involving AI risk and societal impact. He joins Neil Buddy Shah (Chair), Richard Fontaine, and Mariano-Florentino Cuéllar; trustees receive no equity or profit participation beyond service fees. Anthropic frames his role as informing its economic research — a governance signal worth reading against the company's IPO trajectory.
