Sunak Joins Microsoft and Anthropic Amid Ethics Concerns
前英国首相苏纳克出任微软与Anthropic顾问，引发利益争议

Former UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has accepted senior advisory roles at Microsoft and Anthropic, raising concerns about potential conflicts of interest. Britain’s Acoba committee warned that Sunak’s insider knowledge could give Microsoft “unfair access” to the government, especially as AI regulation debates intensify. Sunak pledged to avoid influencing UK policy and will donate his salary to his charity, the Richmond Project.Sunak also advises Goldman Sachs and consults for Bain Capital and Makena Capital. His move mirrors a growing trend of ex-politicians joining Silicon Valley firms; his former aide Liam Booth-Smith works for Anthropic, while ex–Deputy PM Nick Clegg previously served at Meta.
前英国首相苏纳克受聘为微软与Anthropic高级顾问，引发外界对潜在利益冲突的担忧。英国商业任职咨询委员会警告，他的内部信息可能让微软在政府关系中获得“不公平优势”，尤其是在AI监管辩论加剧之际。苏纳克表示不会干涉英国政策，并将薪酬捐给其创办的里士满公益项目。他同时担任高盛顾问，并为贝恩资本与Makena资本提供咨询。这一举动延续了英国政客进入硅谷科技公司的趋势；其前顾问利亚姆·布斯-史密斯也效力于Anthropic，而前副首相尼克·克莱格曾任Meta全球事务总裁。
