Liverpool City Region Mayor Steve Rotheram has announced the 15 members of a new AI Task Force, tasked with helping the region become a global leader in ‘AI for Good.’

Chaired by Nicola Hodson, former Chief Executive and Chair of IBM UK & Ireland, the group brings together expertise in AI research, healthcare, digital skills, government, law and workforce development. Members include Kate Warriner of Alder Hey NHS Foundation Trust, Katherine Royse of the STFC Hartree Centre, and Dell Technologies' Gary McAllister.

The Task Force will advise on using AI to support inclusive growth, strengthen public services and improve outcomes for the region's 1.6 million residents, working alongside the Combined Authority's Chief AI Officer, Tiffany St James.

Rotheram said the group brings ‘real-world experience’ that will help the region develop AI ‘in the most ethical, responsible and transformative way possible.’
