The source directly confirms both key elements of the claim: (1) the LTBT is an independent governance trust with board-majority appointment power (phasing in to majority control within 4 years), and (2) it is designed to prioritize humanity's long-term interests over short-term financial pressures (explicitly stated as balancing public benefit with stockholder interests, with focus on 'long-range issues' and 'extreme events'). The claim about being 'first major AI company' to establish such a structure is not addressed in the source, but the core structural and purpose claims are confirmed.
