Anthropic has appointed Christopher Stubbs, a Harvard University astrophysicist, to its Long-Term Benefit Trust, which can elect a majority of the company’s seven-member board. The appointment, the first involving a physicist, fills one of two vacancies and comes as the company prepares for an IPO potentially valuing it above $2 trillion.
