Research Affiliate

Andrew Sutton is a Research Affiliate at the Oxford Martin AI Governance Initiative, where he is developing AIGI’s work on AI governance and the financial system.

His research focuses on the financial system as an AI risk vector and risk mitigant, including ways in which frontier AI may cause aspects of the financial system to fail (e.g. markets, lending, payments), and ways finance can reduce AI risks, such as by shaping incentives or offering useful templates for risk management.

Andrew is a banker by background, with expertise in technology innovation, risk management and government engagement. He has worked in Brazil, Hong Kong, Taipei, New York, Shanghai and London. He is an affiliate of the Centre for the Governance of AI (GovAI) and a trustee of the London Initiative for Safe AI (LISA). He studied philosophy, politics and economics at Oxford University and business administration at the China Europe International Business School (CEIBS) in Shanghai.
