He advised the British government on AI, now he's going to Anthropic.

Matt Clifford, a key figure behind the UK's artificial intelligence strategy, has joined the American startup Anthropic in a high-level position after leaving Downing Street a year ago. Previously, he advised Prime Minister Keir Starmer on AI and UI but resigned after six months due to personal reasons. At Anthropic, which develops the popular chatbot Claude and is preparing for an IPO valued at up to $2 billion, Clifford will take on the role of chief international officer. His responsibilities include collaborating with governments outside the US, including the UK, EU, Asia-Pacific region, and India. He will retain his position as head of the state-funded agency Aria, which finances ambitious scientific and technological projects. This move has sparked debate over the phenomenon of 'revolving doors' between government and private sectors, with critics warning about potential conflicts of interest.
