2025 Year in Review

In 2025, I wanted to dig deeper into the subject of AI and drive further research and impact. I’m pleased to share this was achieved and surpassed expectations.

From launching my second book, to participating in EU AI policy dialogues, and meeting with members of parliament… 2025 was a very interesting year!

A few highlights below:

  • Featured in major news outlets like the BBC and CGTN, talking about the UK’s approach to AI regulation, and the benefits of geopolitical dynamics in AI with the introduction of Deepseek.

  • Launched my second book “Responsible AI in Practice”, co-authored with Paolo Giudici.

  • Launched my first online course on Responsible AI with The Gen AI Academy. The course has now been licensed by one of the top multibillion companies in the world, and is available for all its employees.

  • Delivered keynotes at key events in Kazakhstan and provided advisory to members of its parliament on both occasions. Also joined a meeting with the prime ministers of the Eurasia region - listening to the plans for AI sovereignty across the various countries was quite interesting!

  • Commenced the critical project of building the first-of-its-kind 5M image dataset with Diverse AI focusing on the global south.

  • Recently joined NeeevAI as an advisor supporting its Responsible AI implementation and global government strategies. NeeevAI is a fast-growing company building the next generation of AI creators.

  • Participated once again in the European University Institute’s AI policy dialogue, discussing important ways AI can be beneficial to politics, drive diversity and benefit the citizens of the EU.

  • Also delivered several keynotes, panel discussions, workshops, hackathons, etc., across the world from Dubai, Italy, Kazakhstan, and many locations in the UK.

It was also an absolute pleasure working with these companies driving impactful work across the globe: Expleo Group, PA Consulting, Deloitte, MIO Partners, Inc., Intuit, Farnell Global, coeo | UK, BNP Paribas, Personal Finance Society, European University Institute, Dentons, sifamo GmbH, The Alan Turing Institute.
