From Policy to Practice: Building National AI Capability

As governments move from AI ambition to delivery, the question is how to build the foundations that let people, businesses and public services use the technology well. George Osborne, Head of OpenAI for Countries and former UK Chancellor, joins SXSW London to explore what national AI implementation looks like in practice: trusted infrastructure, smart regulation, workforce readiness, public adoption, and localised tools that can improve education, healthcare and public services. From the UK to the wider world, this session looks at how countries can turn AI policy into capability, competitiveness and broad public benefit.
