All-Party Parliamentary Group on Artificial Intelligence (APPG AI) Secretariat

Big Innovation Centre is the appointed Secretariat for APPGs AI. This forum offer a unique opportunity for industry, expert academics, amongst other to engage in the policymaking and legislative processes and contribute to shaping our future with AI.

Introducing APPG AI

Established in January 2017 following an Extraordinary General Meeting in 2016, the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Artificial Intelligence (APPG AI) examines the social and economic impacts and implications of artificial intelligence.
 
APPGs are informal cross-party groups in the UK Parliament. They are run by and for Members of the Commons and Lords. The All-Party Parliamentary Group on Artificial Intelligence (APPG AI) is the only permanent, authoritative voice within the UK Parliament (House of Commons and House of Lords) on all AI-related matters. It has also become a recognisable forum in the AI policy ecosystem in the UK and internationally.
 
As the appointed Secretariat for the APPG AI (since 2017), the Big Innovation Centre plays a crucial role in supporting the APPG AI discussions on AI.

APPG AI Evidence Meetings (Policy Forums)

Evidence Meetings of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Artificial Intelligence (APPG AI) is a formal gathering in UK Parliament organised by the APPG AI to bring together policymakers, experts, industry leaders, academics, and other stakeholders to discuss and provide evidence on key topics related to artificial intelligence. These meetings are designed to inform parliamentarians and guide policy decisions on the development, regulation, and ethical deployment of AI technologies. The outcomes of each meeting are written up as a Parliamentary Brief published in a public report listed on the APPG AI Pavilion, and BIC Media Centre, and shared with policymakers and stakeholders.

APPG AI Reception Partnerships

Our Receptions are typically held on the terrace of the UK Parliament, the House of Commons or House of Lords, or other prestigious locations in London. They serve as networking events that unite the APPG AI community. They typically include around 200 high-level attendees and are often organised in partnership with external organisations. Events may feature keynote speeches, panel debates, and other interactive formats.
