Anthropic appoints Reed Hastings to its board of directors, bringing extensive experience from founding Netflix and serving on the boards of Facebook, Microsoft, and Bloomberg. Hastings' leadership experience, deep philanthropic work, and commitment to addressing AI's societal challenges make him uniquely qualified to guide Anthropic at this critical juncture in AI development. His recent focus on AI and Humanity through his research initiative at Bowdoin College aligns closely with Anthropic's own research priorities. Hastings has also spent decades working to expand opportunity in education and global development, both domestically and internationally, making him an ideal addition to the board as they continue building AI that helps rather than harms.
