'Governments have AI FOMO'
George Osborne on his new gig + Stripe's head of product.
Happy Friday, I'm off to celebrate my sister's wedding in a Suffolk pub.
Today we've got George Osborne's talk at SXSW which Alys Key has covered. He talks about his job as OpenAI's chief diplomat, countries having AI FOMO and why job doomers are wrong.
I've also been speaking to Stripe's head of product in the UK ahead of the company's tour arriving in London next week about how AI is changing the payments business.
