ME News report, April 14 (UTC+8). According to monitoring by 1M AI News, Anthropic announced that Vas Narasimhan, CEO of global pharmaceutical company Novartis, has joined its board of directors, appointed by the company’s Long-Term Benefit Trust. After this appointment, for the first time, the directors appointed by the Trust hold a majority of seats on the seven-member board.

Anthropic’s Long-Term Benefit Trust is an independent organization. Its members have no financial interests in Anthropic, and its responsibilities are to ensure that corporate governance maintains a balance between commercial success and the company’s public-benefit mission. At present, the board has seven members: Dario Amodei, Daniela Amodei, Yasmin Razavi, Jay Kreps, Reed Hastings, Chris Liddell, and Narasimhan.

Narasimhan is a medical scientist who, during his tenure as Novartis CEO, led the R&D and approvals for more than 35 new drugs. Earlier in his career, he worked on HIV/AIDS, malaria, and tuberculosis projects in India, Africa, and South America, and he is now a member of the U.S. National Academy of Medicine.

Daniela Amodei, Anthropic’s co-founder and president, said that in one of the world’s most heavily regulated industries, Narasimhan will help bring powerful new technologies to the market safely and at scale—exactly what Anthropic does every day. (Source: BlockBeats)
