Former Fed Chair Ben Bernanke Joins Anthropic’s AI Oversight Trust

Bernanke will help Anthropic assess how AI is changing the economy as the company’s independent trust selects board members, it said.

  • On Thursday, Anthropic appointed former Federal Reserve Board Chair Ben Bernanke to its Long-Term Benefit Trust, an independent oversight body that advises the company and appoints its board members.
  • Anthropic operates as a public benefit corporation, and the Long-Term Benefit Trust holds independent power to appoint and remove a majority of corporate board members, with members receiving payment only for their service.
  • A Nobel laureate in economic sciences, Bernanke led the Federal Reserve from 2006 to 2014, and his research on the Great Depression and the role of banks in financial crises earned him the 2022 Nobel Prize.
  • Bernanke will help the company understand how artificial intelligence impacts the economy, stating, "The potential of artificial intelligence is enormous, and so is the range of outcomes."
  • Anthropic is valued at $965 billion and is preparing for an IPO potentially occurring this year, with the company noting the Trump administration lifted export controls on its Claude Fable and Mythos models.
