Ex-Fed Chairman Bernanke Joins Body That Elects Anthropic's Board
The Long-Term Benefit Trust now has four members, each barred from holding equity or profit, paid only a service fee.
- Bernanke chaired the Federal Reserve from 2006 to 2014, before joining Brookings.
- He won the 2022 Nobel Prize in Economics for research on banking crises.
- Other trustees are chair Neil Buddy Shah, Richard Fontaine, and Mariano-Florentino Cuellar.
