Professor James Marshall, Director of the Centre for Machine Intelligence (CMI), has joined the Advisory Board of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Artificial Intelligence (APPG AI) representing the University of Sheffield.
A Leading Voice in Parliament
Launched in January 2017, the APPG AI is an informal cross-party group run by and for Members of the Commons and Lords. It serves as the only permanent, authoritative voice within the UK Parliament on all AI-related matters and is a globally recognised forum in the AI policy ecosystem.
The group explores the social, economic, and governance implications of artificial intelligence, engaging with emerging trends such as humanistic AI and generative technologies like ChatGPT. Its primary mission is to unleash the full potential of AI across all sectors while ensuring its use remains responsible and purposeful to drive positive change.
A Multidisciplinary Delegation
Professor Marshall’s appointment is supported by a strong cohort of experts from the Centre for Machine Intelligence who have been nominated as delegates to the advisory board:
- Dr Denis Newman-Griffis, Theme Lead for AI for Health
- Dr Susan Oman, Theme Lead for AI and In/equality
- Dr Amir Ghalamzan, Theme Lead for Robotics and Autonomous Systems
- Dr Sarah Moth-Lund Christensen, Academic Fellow in AI and In/equality
By contributing to the advisory board, the delegation will provide expert evidence to Members of Parliament (MPs) and Peers, ensuring that world-class research informs the UK’s legislative landscape and the future of AI governance.
