Dr. Craig Ramlal, a distinguished lecturer in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at St. Augustine, was appointed in 2023 by UN Secretary-General António Guterres to the Multistakeholder High-Level Advisory Body on Artificial Intelligence.

This appointment followed a global call for experts in artificial intelligence, from which 2,000 nominees across 128 countries were submitted. 38 members were selected from all continents, each bringing substantial knowledge and experience from government, business, civil society, technology, and academia.

The recommendations from this advisory body are essential for helping governments and corporations respond effectively to the rapidly evolving world of artificial intelligence. Their collective expertise ensures a comprehensive and well-informed approach to AI technology’s global development, implementation, and governance.

Dr. Ramlal joins a distinguished group of AI experts that includes Mira Murati, Chief Technology Officer of OpenAI; James Manyika, Senior Vice President of Google-Alphabet and President for Research, Technology, and Society; Natasha Crampton, Chief Responsible AI Officer at Microsoft; Omar Sultan Al Olama, UAE Minister of State for AI; and Carme Artigas, Secretary of State for Digitalization and AI in Spain.
