    • Kriti Sharma

      Founder & CEO

       

      Kriti Sharma is an Artificial Intelligence expert and a leading global voice on ethical technology and its impact on society. She holds a Bachelors in Engineering and a Masters in Advanced Computer Science from the University of St Andrews.

       

      Kriti has experience managing global Machine Learning and Digital products in regulated industries. She has been leading chatbot projects for various social causes, from productivity to inequality to domestic abuse, in over 25 countries. Kriti was included in the Forbes 30 Under 30 and the Recode 100 List of Key Influencers in Technology in 2017. She was invited as a Civic Leader to the Obama Foundation Summit. She is a Google Anita Borg Scholar and recently gave expert testimony on AI Policy to the UK Parliament in the House of Lords. Prior to founding AI for Good, Kriti was the VP of Artificial Intelligence at FTSE 100 companies including Barclays and Sage.

       

      While much of Silicon Valley worry about doomsday scenarios where AI will take over human civilization, Kriti Sharma has a different kind of concern: What happens if disadvantaged groups don’t have a say in the technology we’re creating?
