By providing real-world, enterprise-grade insights, IFS aims to ensure AI is developed responsibly, with transparency and measurable business and societal impact.

“AI is no longer just a technological breakthrough—it’s a geopolitical force, an economic driver, and a competitive differentiator. At IFS, we develop AI solutions that power some of the world’s most complex industries, and it’s imperative that we help shape the global governance that surrounds them.” — Bianca Nobilo, IFS Executive Board Member & Chief External Affairs Officer

Shaping AI Policy Through the APPG

Since its establishment in 2017, the APPG on AI has played a crucial role in addressing the economic and societal impact of artificial intelligence. Its mission is to unlock AI’s full potential across sectors while ensuring its responsible and ethical use to drive positive change.

Professor Birgitte Andersen, secretariat of the APPG on AI, emphasized the importance of IFS’s involvement:

“The APPG on AI does not aim to build consensus on complex issues; rather, its evidence-based approach fosters open debate, embracing and exploring diverse perspectives. We are thrilled to welcome Bianca Nobilo to our Advisory Board. The expertise of IFS across industries such as manufacturing, energy, and aerospace is crucial to understanding the full potential of AI.”

With this appointment, IFS continues to play a pivotal role in the global AI conversation, ensuring that AI technologies drive innovation while adhering to strong ethical and governance standards.
