TMTPOST – U.S. artificial intelligence company Anthropic announced on May 28 that Reed Hastings, co-founder and former CEO of Netflix, has joined its board of directors. The appointment comes shortly after Hastings donated $50 million to Bowdoin College to establish a new research initiative focused on AI and humanity. The program aims to explore how AI will reshape work, relationships, and education, while also developing ethical frameworks for its application—areas that closely align with Anthropic’s core research priorities, according to the company. Anthropic is known for developing AI systems with a strong emphasis on safety and alignment, positioning itself as a leading voice in responsible AI development.
