Niki Iliadis
Niki leads our thematic area on AI and the Rule of Law, which includes overseeing our international and multistakeholder coordination forum (The Athens Roundtable on AI and the Rule of Law) and our policy engagement efforts in the US. Her approach centers on transforming policy ideas into actionable recommendations and leveraging the power of convenings to promote coordination.
With eight years of experience in technology policy, Niki previously managed the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Artificial Intelligence (APPG AI) in the UK Parliament. The initiative gathered evidence on the economic and socio-ethical impact of AI, and used that to inform and influence national policy decisions.
Niki has experience working for cross-sectoral organizations, including IEEE SA on their impact measurement (ongoing), the Centre for Public Impact on bridging the policy implementation gap, Strategy International on geopolitical research, and the Embassy of the United States on US-Greece diplomacy.
She holds a BSc in Political Science from UC Berkeley and an MSc in Public Management from the London School of Economics.
