Without AI you will be a 'weaker and poorer nation', says former UK chancellor two months into job at US firm

The former chancellor George Osborne has said countries that do not embrace the kind of powerful AI systems made by his new employer, OpenAI, risk "Fomo" and could be left weaker and poorer.

Osborne, who is two months into a job as head of the $500bn San Francisco AI company's "for countries" programme, told leaders gathered for the AI Impact summit in Delhi: "Don't be left behind." He said that without AI rollouts they could end up with a workforce "less willing to stay put" because they might want to seek AI-enabled fortunes elsewhere.
