I asked ChatGPT
As of February 2025, former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair remains actively engaged in various initiatives, focusing on technology, leadership, and international relations.
Advocacy for Digital Identification and Technology in Governance
Blair has been a proponent of implementing national digital ID systems and utilizing technologies like live facial recognition to address issues such as populism, illegal immigration, crime reduction, and benefit fraud. He emphasizes the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in enhancing public services and achieving cost savings, suggesting that a universal digital ID could streamline government interactions and empower individuals. 
Publication on Leadership
In September 2024, Blair released a book titled “On Leadership: Lessons for the 21st Century,” offering advice for political leaders based on his experiences as Prime Minister. The book discusses the personal challenges faced by senior officials, including managing social media pressures and achieving work-life balance in demanding careers. 
Engagement in Middle East Diplomacy
Blair continues to leverage his extensive contacts in the Middle East to assist current political leaders. He has been working with Labour leader Keir Starmer, facilitating introductions and building relationships with regional leaders, including Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Blair’s efforts aim to assure the Israeli government of consistent UK policies should Labour win the next general election. 
Advocacy for Artificial Intelligence
Blair has become a prominent advocate for artificial intelligence, viewing it as a transformative force comparable to the Industrial Revolution. He criticizes governments for being slow to embrace AI’s potential and emphasizes its capacity to improve government efficiency, economic growth, and public services like healthcare and education. He also acknowledges public concerns about AI and stresses the importance of government oversight to balance innovation with public interest. 
Through these endeavors, Tony Blair continues to influence global policy and governance, focusing on technological advancements, leadership strategies, and international diplomacy.
