Rt Rev Dr Stephen Croft will join peers from the Conservatives, Liberal Democrats and Labour.
The group has been tasked with investigating the area of artificial intelligence and reporting to the government in Spring next year.
Outlining the role of the committee the Parliament website says: "This is a topical issue, given the ongoing pace of technological advances.
"While there are a number of interesting angles which the Committee might focus on, ranging from the rate of technological change, to economic and social issues, and even ethical issues, with some careful planning it is a topic which could be conducted within one session.
"It is also an issue which would not fit neatly within the remit of any existing Commons or Lords committee.
"A committee which considered technological issues alongside implications for the labour market and the ethical dilemmas posed by artificial intelligence would have the potential to add value in this area by considering the issues in the round.
"There is a range of expertise in the House in the various areas to be examined."
