Announced July 9. The former Fed Chair and 2022 Nobel laureate joins the independent body that can appoint members to Anthropic's board and advises leadership on decisions involving AI risk and societal impact, alongside Neil Buddy Shah (Chair), Richard Fontaine, and Mariano-Florentino Cuéllar. Trustees receive no equity or profit participation beyond service fees. Anthropic frames the role as informing its economic research. Read it against the IPO trajectory and TechCrunch's argument that Anthropic, OpenAI, and SpaceX combined will exceed 25 years of US venture-backed exits.
