Kriti Sharma, founder of AI for Good and Chief Product Officer for LegalTech at Thomson Reuters, brings unmatched authority to this challenge. A Forbes 30 Under 30 honouree, United Nations Young Leader, and former VP of AI at FTSE 100 companies including Barclays and Sage, she has led machine learning projects addressing social issues across over 25 countries.

Artificial intelligence is reshaping every sector, yet too often the technology being built fails to reflect the needs of the communities it serves. Kriti Sharma is an AI technologist and one of the world's leading voices on ethical technology, dedicated to ensuring that innovation works for everyone, not just the privileged few. As Chief Product Officer for LegalTech at Thomson Reuters, board member at Rightmove PLC, and founder of AI for Good, she combines technical expertise with a powerful commitment to social impact, challenging the technology industry to build systems that are fair, inclusive, and accountable.

Kriti's career spans leadership roles at some of the world's most influential organisations. She has served as Vice President of Artificial Intelligence at FTSE 100 companies including Barclays and Sage, where she managed global machine learning and digital products in highly regulated industries. Her work extends far beyond corporate boardrooms. She has led chatbot projects addressing critical social issues, from inequality to domestic abuse, across more than 25 countries. Recognised in the Forbes 30 Under 30 for advancements in AI and named to the Recode 100 list of key influencers in technology, Kriti was appointed a United Nations Young Leader at the General Assembly in 2018 and continues to advise the UN Technology Innovation Labs. She was invited as a Civic Leader to the Obama Foundation Summit for her work in ethical technology, is a Google Anita Borg Scholar, and has provided expert testimony on AI policy to the UK Parliament in the House of Lords. Her unique perspective challenges Silicon Valley's focus on existential threats, asking instead how we ensure disadvantaged groups have a voice in shaping the technology that affects their lives.

She translates technical concepts into accessible frameworks that leaders can apply immediately, helping organisations build responsible AI strategies that protect both people and performance.
