Shape the Future of Data and AI with the Ada Lovelace Institute

The Ada Lovelace Institute is an independent research institute with a mission to ensure that data and AI work for people and society. We believe that a world where data and AI work for people and society is a world in which the opportunities, benefits and privileges generated by data and AI are justly and equitably distributed and experienced. We were established by the Nuffield Foundation in 2018, in collaboration with The Alan Turing Institute, the Royal Society, the British Academy, the Royal Statistical Society, the Wellcome Trust, Luminate, techUK and the Nuffield Council on Bioethics. 

We have just launched our 2025–2028 strategy, setting an ambitious agenda for the next three years. We will explore how data and AI interact with people and services, examine models of governance that serve the public interest, and confront the power imbalances that shape our technological landscape. Above all, we will amplify people’s voices, hopes and concerns as AI becomes increasingly woven into everyday life.

To help us achieve this mission, we are seeking up to four new members to join our Oversight Board. This Board brings together diverse leaders who advise the Director and Executive team, guide strategic direction, and oversee performance to ensure our impact continues to grow.

We are particularly interested in candidates who bring expertise in:

·      Strategic leadership and vision at an organisational level

·      Government or civil service policy, or frontline public service delivery

·      Technical knowledge of data technologies and AI, or industry practice in these fields

·      Academic expertise in areas such as social science, computer science, AI, philosophy, ethics, or law

If you want to help shape the future of AI in the public interest, we’d love to hear from you.
