OpenAI formed a partnership with Malta to expand AI access for citizens. Partnership materials refer to George Osborne by the title Head of OpenAI for Countries and describe intelligence as becoming a national utility. Screenshots of the reference circulated on X where users flagged the title as extreme inflation.

@theo This is actually OpenAI trying to avoid titles. As soon as you start handing out "Director", "VP" titles everyone gets really careerist really fast.
"Head of X" can be IC4 or IC8. You can convey authority externally, while maintaining flexibility internally. This is by design.
