OpenAI picks George Osborne to head Stargate expansion
"I recently asked myself the question: what's the most exciting and promising company in the world right now? The answer I believe is OpenAI. In my conversations with Sam Altman, Brad Lightcap, and other senior colleagues, it's clear they are exceptionally impressive leaders and that they care very deeply about their mission to ensure the power of artificial intelligence is developed responsibly, and the benefits are felt by all,"
"OpenAI for Countries is an effort to export the company's Stargate project to other nations beyond the US. Stargate itself is an ambitious plan to somehow raise and invest $500 billion over the next four years to build infrastructure to power AI in America, which kicked off last year as a union between the AI developer and Microsoft."
George Osborne has been hired by OpenAI as managing director and head of OpenAI for Countries, based in London. He previously served as Chancellor of the Exchequer from 2010 to 2016 under Prime Minister David Cameron. The role will involve exporting OpenAI's Stargate project and building AI infrastructure internationally. Stargate aims to raise and invest $500 billion over four years to build AI infrastructure in America and began as a partnership between OpenAI and Microsoft. OpenAI said many countries have requested help building similar infrastructure and expressed interest in their own Stargates. Osborne praised OpenAI leadership and framed the company as the most exciting and promising currently.
