Formed in August 2024, techUK's 2024–2026 AI and Data Analytics Leadership Committee meets in person on a quarterly basis, with virtual updates held in the intervening months.

  • Steer techUK’s AI and data analytics work programme and agree priority issues and areas where specific action is needed to increase the adoption, deployment and use of AI and data analytics services, across both the public and private sectors.

  • Act as an “issue filter” to identify and prioritise issues relevant to the AI and data analytics industry that should be addressed by techUK.

  • Lead the responses required within relevant policy areas and act as a trusted sounding board for government and policy makers seeking input on AI and data analytics issues.

  • Work directly with external stakeholders and interact with other techUK groups on specific AI and data analytics industry issues.

  • Provide an authoritative and recognised voice on all AI and data analytics issues in the UK.
