Political networks and overlapping public advocates
Fabian Society
The Fabian Society is a British political and policy organisation. It enters this investigation through named politicians whose Fabian roles overlap with participation in ControlAI’s public campaign. Those roles range from current executive positions to events and appointments more than a decade earlier.
Which overlaps are actually recorded
The September 2026 roster names Anneliese Dodds, Sarah Russell and Mike Hedges. Jess Asato’s chairmanship belongs to 2012–2014, Alex Sobel’s executive service to 2011–2012, and Jim Knight’s research-panel participation to 2017. Baroness Lister appears as a June 2025 summit speaker. These different kinds of participation should not be collapsed into one present-day leadership group.
