AI Summary

Anthropic has appointed Harvard astrophysicist Christopher Stubbs to its Long‑Term Benefit Trust, the body that can elect a majority of the company’s board. The Trust’s power is unusual and may face scrutiny if Anthropic goes public next month. Stubbs fills one of two vacant seats on the Trust. He is known for demonstrating that the universe’s expansion is accelerating, a discovery linked to dark energy, and for leading the ESSENCE supernova cosmology project. In 2015 he and colleagues received the Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics, and he served as Harvard’s Dean of Science from 2018 to 2024.
