"The former UK chancellor George Osborne is joining OpenAI to lead the ChatGPT developer's relationships with governments around the world. He will head a division known internally as OpenAI for Countries, through which the San Francisco artificial intelligence startup works with governments on national-level AI rollouts. The former Conservative politician will add the role to his growing portfolio of positions which include: chair of the British Museum; adviser to the cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase; and host of a podcast with the former Labour minister Ed Balls."
"His hiring by OpenAI is the latest sign the big US tech firms are becoming increasingly focused on boosting AI adoption by national governments. Microsoft, Google and Palantir have all been pushing hard to provide AI services to the British government, where Osborne was in office from 2010 to 2016 alongside Nick Clegg, who spent seven years working for Mark Zuckerberg at Meta."
