I have no idea whether or not she does own shares in OpenAI. But the balance of probability is surely that she does - so the government should publish her register of interests, as the public deserves to know.

Why will the government not publish Leung’s register of interests? I think the public deserves to know whether the Prime Minister’s closest adviser on AI owns shares in a company at the centre of such a huge debate about government regulation.

I put in a freedom of information request for her register of interests, which would reveal if she owns OpenAI shares. The government refused to share it, claiming it contains ‘personal information’.

For context, the PM’s previous AI Adviser’s register of interests *was* published.

Jade Leung worked for OpenAI from 2021 to 2023. You would expect her to have shares, worth a lot of money - which will get more valuable if OpenAI remains only lightly regulated.

Now she is the Prime Minister’s AI Adviser in No 10 - advising on AI regulation.

PLEASE don't use AI slop #aislop
