Chi Onwurah is the Labour Member of Parliament for Newcastle upon Tyne Central and the current Shadow Minister for Science, Research and Innovation. With a background in electrical engineering, she is one of the UK Parliament’s most prominent voices on technology and ethics. Onwurah has consistently raised concerns about bias and opacity in automated decision-making systems, calling for **algorithmic transparency** and democratic accountability in government technology use. While she has not specifically proposed citizens’ assemblies for algorithm design, her speeches and committee interventions align with participatory principles of public oversight. Her work within the Labour Party’s digital policy forums emphasises open data, fairness in AI, and the need for inclusive governance mechanisms that reflect the diversity of those affected by algorithmic systems.
