London, October 14, 2025 — Former UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has taken on senior advisory roles at both Microsoft and Anthropic, marking his first major move into the private sector since leaving office earlier this year.
Sunak will advise Microsoft on global technology strategy and innovation policy, with a focus on artificial intelligence governance, digital transformation, and public-private collaboration. At Anthropic, one of the world’s leading AI safety and research firms, he will support the company’s efforts to develop responsible AI frameworks and promote transparency across the global AI ecosystem.
In a joint statement, both companies highlighted Sunak’s “strategic vision” and “commitment to ethical technology development” as key reasons for his appointment.
Sunak, who led the UK government’s AI Safety Summit in 2023, played a pivotal role in establishing the Frontier AI Taskforce and positioning the UK as a major player in AI regulation. His dual appointments underscore the growing intersection between policymaking and the technology sector.
These roles signal Sunak’s continued influence in shaping the future of AI policy, innovation, and governance on a global scale.
