Each year GGI invites someone who in the past year has taken thinking, practice or both in good governance forward to address leaders across all sectors at the annual lecture.
Previous keynote speakers include Professor Mervyn King, Rob Whiteman CBE, Professor Andrew Corbett-Nolan, Lord Bob Kerslake and Professor Jaideep Prabhu.
This year's keynote speaker is Dr Anjali Mazumder, Theme Lead on AI and Justice & Human Rights at the Alan Turing Institute.
Her work focuses on empowering government and non-profit organisations by co-designing and developing responsible and inclusive data and AI methods, tools and frameworks for safeguarding people from harm – particularly those most vulnerable, building resilient institutions and systems, and accelerating the opportunity for inclusive, fair and just services, systems, economies, and communities.
Dr Mazumder has over 15 years’ experience tackling fundamental statistical problems of societal importance – human rights, justice, security, the Law, education, public health & safety – working at the interface of research, policy and practice in the UK, the US, and Canada, fostering multi-disciplinary and cross-sector collaborations.
