Biography

As the Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of World AI Governance (WAIG), I lead a global initiative dedicated to building responsible, transparent, and inclusive AI governance frameworks across all sectors. WAIG serves as a vital platform, bringing together policymakers, technologists, regulators, and industry leaders to collaboratively create AI standards that balance innovation with ethical use and public trust.

My role involves:

Setting Global Strategy: Developing WAIG’s multi-tiered governance model, integrating digital sovereignty, ethical AI, and sector-specific compliance.

Designing Key Frameworks: Creating policy blueprints like the WAIG Trust Label, Sovereign AI Lifecycle Methodology, AI Incident Governance Protocol, and Cross-Border Compliance Matrix.

Building Partnerships: Forging alliances with academia, global AI organizations, and governments to co-develop regulatory sandboxes.

Driving Thought Leadership: Publishing insights and speaking at international forums on AI risks, regulation, bias mitigation, and trust-by-design.

Fostering Capacity Building: Launching certification and education programs for professionals in responsible AI.

Ensuring Inclusivity: Embedding equity, sustainability, and Global South priorities into AI governance.

At WAIG, we believe AI governance is a human, legal, and societal imperative, not just a technical one. I'm committed to shaping a secure, explainable, and resilient AI future.
