Nigel Richard Shadbolt FREng CEng CITP FBCS is a Professor of Computer Science at the University of Southampton in the United Kingdom.^[5][6]

Nigel Shadbolt was born in London. He studied for an undergraduate degree in philosophy and psychology at Newcastle University^{[citation needed]}. His PhD was from the Department of Artificial Intelligence at the University of Edinburgh. He moved to Nottingham University in 1983 and joined the Department of Psychology. In 2000, he moved to the University of Southampton and in 2007 he became Deputy Head of the School of Electronics and Computer Science.

He has researched Artificial Intelligence since the late 1970s working on a broad range of topics - from natural language understanding and robotics^[7] through to expert systems, computational neuroscience, memory^[8] through to the semantic web and linked data.^[9] He also writes on the wider implications of his research. One example is the book he co-authored with Kieron O'Hara that examines privacy and trust in the Digital Age - The Spy in the Coffee Machine.^[10]

In 2006 he became a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering (FREng). He is a Fellow of the British Computer Society (FBCS) and was its President in its 50th jubilee year.

In 2006, Nigel Shadbolt, Sir Tim Berners-Lee,^[11] Dame Wendy Hall and Daniel Weitzner, founded the Web Science Research Initiative, to promote the discipline of Web Science^[12] and foster research collaboration between the University of Southampton and Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

In June 2009 he was appointed together with Sir Tim Berners-Lee as Information Advisor to the UK Government. The two led a team to develop data.gov.uk a single point of access for UK non-personal Governmental public data.^[13][14] In May 2010 he was appointed by the UK Coalition Government to the Public Sector Transparency Board responsible for setting open data standards across the public sector and developing the legal Right to Data.
