US EditionFormer Chancellor George Osborne Joins OpenAI
- Recently, George Osborne, former chancellor, joined OpenAI as managing director and head of OpenAI for Countries, based in London, leading its international relationships.
- OpenAI says early choices about AI governance will shape economics and geopolitics, and Osborne accepted the role after talks with Sam Altman and Brad Lightcap.
- So far the programme has engaged with more than 50 countries, and Mr Lehane said, `In his new role, George will help to expand existing partnerships and build new ones`; Osborne previously served as chancellor from 2010-16 and chair of the British Museum.
- Osborne left his senior managing director role at Evercore to join OpenAI, which is defending itself amid multiple lawsuits and stalled US-UK tech deal negotiations.
- Amid an AI investment boom, George Osborne praised OpenAI as the most promising $500 billion firm, while the Bank of England warned earlier this month of a potential sharp correction.
