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

Anthropic’s Long-Term Benefit Trust is an independent organization. Its members have no financial interests in Anthropic, and their duty is to ensure that corporate governance remains balanced between commercial success and the company’s public welfare mission. Currently, the board has seven members: Dario Amodei, Daniela Amodei, Yasmin Razavi, Jay Kreps, Reed Hastings, Chris Liddell, and Narasimhan.

Narasimhan is a medical scientist. During his tenure as Novartis CEO, he led the R&D and approvals for more than 35 new drugs. Early 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, co-founder and president of Anthropic, said that Narasimhan’s experience in one of the most heavily regulated industries in the world will help bring powerful new technologies to the market safely and at scale—something Anthropic is doing every day.
