The Business of AI
65. Who Shapes the AI Future with Baroness Manzila Uddin - Women in AI
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Who decides how AI reshapes society: technologists, governments, or the communities living with its consequences? As AI and digital platforms scale rapidly, policymakers face a difficult balance: enabling innovation and economic growth while protecting citizens from online harms, safeguarding children, and ensuring new technologies do not deepen existing inequalities.
Baroness Uddin believes the answer lies in widening who participates in technology governance. A social worker turned member of the House of Lords, she brings decades of community advocacy into debates on AI, digital assets, and online safety. Through parliamentary groups and cross-sector roundtables with startups, academics, and major tech firms, she works to connect policy with real-world experience. Her approach reflects a core lesson for the AI era: effective regulation isn’t just written in legislatures, it emerges from sustained dialogue between innovators, policymakers, and the communities technology will ultimately reshape.
