The former prime minister has been awarded a new job at an American artifical firm.
Cameron will lead the advisory board of Afiniti, which specialises in AI-based behavioural pairing technology, after the chief executive of the business praised the former prime minister for his "leadership through period of complexity".
He will join former and current business and political leaders to advise on critical issues to the company as it continues to expand in markets around the world.
It comes ahead of his new book which will come in the Autumn, which will give his side of the story on the Brexit crisis.
Announcing his new job, he said: "As part of this work, I was excited to see the rapid development in Artificial Intelligence and the huge potential AI has to address some of the challenges that societies face today.
