George Osborne

George began his career in politics after studying modern history at the University of Oxford. He was elected as the Member of Parliament for Tatton and quickly established himself as a leading figure within the Conservative Party. His rise culminated in his appointment as Chancellor of the Exchequer, a role he held for more than six years, overseeing the UK’s economic strategy during a period of significant global financial uncertainty. He later served as First Secretary of State, becoming one of the most senior figures in government. Following his political career, George moved into the private sector and international leadership roles, eventually joining OpenAI to help governments navigate the opportunities and challenges presented by rapidly advancing AI technologies.

Alongside his executive role at OpenAI, George has held several prominent leadership positions across business, finance and culture. He serves as Chair of the Board of Trustees at the British Museum and is Chair of Coinbase’s Global Advisory Council. He was appointed a Companion of Honour in recognition of his public service and has remained a highly visible commentator on economic, political and technological issues through major media appearances, public speaking engagements and thought leadership initiatives. His influence across government, business and technology has established him as a respected authority on the future of innovation and economic growth.

As an AI speaker, George is uniquely positioned to explain how governments, businesses and institutions can harness artificial intelligence while managing its societal impact. Combining first-hand experience of economic policymaking with leadership at one of the world’s most influential AI organisations, he provides authoritative insights into AI regulation, innovation, global competitiveness, digital transformation and the future of work. His ability to bridge the worlds of technology, politics and business makes him an outstanding speaker for organisations seeking to understand the opportunities and challenges that artificial intelligence will create in the coming decades.
