As a featured guest speaker in the United Nations AI for Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) Campaign, I spoke on the intersection of AI, SDG 8 (Decent Work & Economic Growth), and SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation & Infrastructure).

I also discussed how AI is reshaping infrastructure and workforce dynamics, emphasizing both its potential to streamline operations and the risks of job displacement and algorithmic bias.
