Former chancellor George Osborne is joining artificial intelligence (AI) giant OpenAI.
He will lead its "OpenAI for Countries" programme, which is aimed at helping governments increase their AI capacity.
Announcing his new London-based role, Osborne said it was a privilege to be joining the company.
"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," he said on X.
The announcement follows news that government-level negotiations between the UK and the US over a tech deal that included greater co-operation in AI have faltered.
