Ben Bernanke appointed to Anthropic’s Long-Term Benefit Trust
本·伯南克被任命为 Anthropic 长期利益信托（LTBT）成员
Anthropic’s Long-Term Benefit Trust (LTBT) has appointed Dr. Ben Bernanke, a Distinguished Fellow at the Brookings Institution and former Chair of the Federal Reserve, as its newest member. He joins an independent body that works to hold Anthropic to its mission: the responsible development of advanced AI for the long-term benefit of humanity.
Anthropic 长期利益信托（LTBT）已任命布鲁金斯学会杰出研究员、前美联储主席本·伯南克（Dr. Ben Bernanke）博士为其最新成员。他将加入这一独立机构，该机构致力于确保 Anthropic 坚守其使命：为人类的长期利益负责任地开发先进人工智能。
Bernanke led the Federal Reserve from 2006 to 2014, steering the central bank through the 2008 global financial crisis and the recovery that followed. Before entering government, he spent more than two decades as an academic economist, much of that time at Princeton, where he chaired the economics department and built a body of research on the Great Depression and the role banks play in financial crises. That work earned him the Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences in 2022.
伯南克曾在 2006 年至 2014 年间领导美联储，带领中央银行度过了 2008 年全球金融危机及其后的复苏期。在进入政府部门之前，他曾担任了二十多年的学术经济学家，其中大部分时间在普林斯顿大学度过。在那里，他曾担任经济系主任，并围绕大萧条以及银行在金融危机中的作用开展了大量研究。这些工作使他在 2022 年获得了诺贝尔经济学奖。
“The potential of artificial intelligence is enormous, and so is the range of outcomes. How that potential plays out will depend, in part, on the institutions we build around it,” said Dr. Bernanke. “Anthropic has created a unique governance structure to try to ensure that the long-run benefits of AI for humanity far outweigh the risks. I am honored to have this opportunity, and I will try to contribute in any way I can to this critical mission.”
“人工智能的潜力是巨大的，其带来的结果也同样具有广泛性。这种潜力如何发挥，在一定程度上取决于我们围绕它所建立的制度，”伯南克博士表示。“Anthropic 创建了一种独特的治理结构，旨在确保人工智能为人类带来的长期利益远大于其风险。我很荣幸能获得这个机会，我将尽我所能为这一关键使命做出贡献。”
“AI may have the most significant economic effects of any technology in modern history, and Anthropic has a dual responsibility to understand those effects and to act on them,” said Daniela Amodei, Co-Founder and President of Anthropic. “Ben’s career has run from studying how economies react to disruptive moments to helping steer the world’s largest economy through one such time. His judgment will make us better at anticipating and responding to how advanced AI affects workforces and economies around the world.”
“人工智能可能是现代历史上对经济影响最深远的技术，Anthropic 有双重责任去理解这些影响并采取行动，”Anthropic 联合创始人兼总裁 Daniela Amodei 说道。“本的职业生涯涵盖了从研究经济体如何应对颠覆性时刻，到帮助引导全球最大经济体度过此类危机。他的判断力将使我们能够更好地预测并应对先进人工智能对全球劳动力和经济的影响。”
Anthropic is a Public Benefit Corporation, meaning the company was created to balance commercial success with generating social and public good. The LTBT exists to help the company responsibly maintain that balance over the long term, providing a check on how Anthropic develops and deploys AI. The Trustees are chosen for their expertise across a wide range of areas, and are independent of the company’s management and investors: they hold no equity in Anthropic, don’t share in its profits, and are compensated only for their time and service. New Trustees are selected by the existing ones, in consultation with the company.
Anthropic 是一家公益公司（Public Benefit Corporation），这意味着该公司在创立之初就旨在平衡商业成功与创造社会及公共利益。LTBT 的存在是为了帮助公司在长期内负责任地维持这种平衡，并对 Anthropic 如何开发和部署人工智能进行监督。受托人因其在广泛领域的专业知识而被选中，且独立于公司的管理层和投资者：他们不持有 Anthropic 的股权，不参与利润分成，仅因其时间和服务获得报酬。新受托人由现有受托人在与公司协商后选出。
“The institutions built around this technology will matter as much as the technology itself,” added Neil Buddy Shah, Chair of the LTBT. “Ben spent eight years leading the Federal Reserve and guided the country through the worst financial crisis in nearly a century with expertise, independence, and sound judgment. That’s the standard we look for in Trustees as AI’s impact grows, and we’re fortunate Ben has chosen to join us in this work.”
“围绕这项技术建立的制度与技术本身同样重要，”LTBT 主席 Neil Buddy Shah 补充道。“本曾领导美联储八年，凭借专业知识、独立性和稳健的判断力，引导国家度过了近一个世纪以来最严重的金融危机。随着人工智能影响力的增长，这就是我们对受托人所要求的标准，我们很幸运本选择加入我们的工作。”
The LTBT has the authority to appoint members to Anthropic’s board. The Trustees advise the board and Anthropic’s leadership on critical decisions, particularly those involving the potential risks and societal impacts of AI. Bernanke’s appointment brings expertise to one of the questions Anthropic studies most closely: how AI is changing the economy. He will lend his insight to our economic research, in addition to other areas of Anthropic’s work.
LTBT 有权任命 Anthropic 董事会成员。受托人就关键决策向董事会和 Anthropic 领导层提供建议，特别是涉及人工智能潜在风险和社会影响的决策。伯南克的加入为 Anthropic 最密切关注的问题之一带来了专业知识：人工智能如何改变经济。除了 Anthropic 的其他工作领域外，他还将为我们的经济研究提供见解。
