Roger Hampson has been Chief Executive of the London Borough of Redbridge since 2000. Until 1986 he was an academic economist of social policy, latterly a Research Fellow at the Personal Social Services Research Unit at the University of Kent. He is a non-executive director of the Open Data Institute.
He is the author, with Nigel Shadbolt of The Digital Ape, which was published by Scribe in 2018.
‘This is a brilliantly readable, genuinely cutting-edge book that is also often very entertaining. Of all the recent studies of automation and AI, The Digital Ape stands head and shoulders above the rest. Shadbolt and Hampson have written a landmark book.’ — ANDREW KEEN
‘There has never been a more important time to discuss what it means to be human, in the past, now, and in the future. This is a book for anyone interested in getting behind the headlines and understanding how technology is impacting our world. The writers are two masters in their field who are not only erudite but immensely humane and compassionate.’ — MARTHA LANE FOX
