The LTBT, composed of external advisors, holds the power to appoint or dismiss the majority of Anthropic's board members, aiming to safeguard the company's mission of developing AI for humanity's long-term benefit amidst growing commercial pressures. This structure is intended to serve as a model for future AI governance, with trustees receiving advance notice of major company actions, including new AI model launches. AI
