Works at UK Government
Kanishka Narayan is a British Labour Party politician who has served as the Member of Parliament for the Vale of Glamorgan since 2024. He previously held the role of Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for AI and Online Safety before being appointed as the UK's first cabinet-level Minister for Artificial Intelligence under Prime Minister Andy Burnham. His elevation to cabinet rank coincided with the government's dismantling of the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT), with its functions redistributed across departments and Narayan's brief expanded to cover AI policy at the highest level of government. He is known for coordinating UK AI strategy alongside the Prime Minister's AI Taskforce chaired by Lord Vallance.
