39. From Design to AI: Building a Human-Centred Tech Future with Alyna Butt
In this episode of the UKAI Women in AI Podcast, Zahra Shah speaks with Alyna, Founder and CEO of WeUno Technologies about her inspiring journey from design and communications into technology and artificial intelligence. Elena shares how she took a leap of faith to start her own tech company with no investors and built it into a thriving, human-centred innovation hub of over 40 developers, designers, and AI engineers. She reflects on the challenges of leadership, growth, and culture-building in a fast-moving industry, and why curiosity and adaptability are essential traits for any founder navigating the world of emerging technologies.
The conversation also explores the transformative potential of AI in everyday life, from digital transformation in business to the ethical use of technology for human benefit. Elena offers candid advice for women who want to enter or lead in the AI sector, encouraging them to “just start” and embrace imperfection as part of the creative process. She discusses her involvement in the UKAI Women in AI Working Group, the importance of community and collaboration, and how empowering women through access, learning, and visibility can help shape a more inclusive and innovative future for AI.
