In this episode of The Business of AI, Tim Flagg speaks with Zahra Shah, AI and frontier tech board advisor, founder, and UKAI lead on women in AI to explore how organisations can embed governance, trust and inclusion into the heart of their AI strategies.

Zahra shares lessons from working with regulators like the ICO, partnering with IBM on responsible enterprise tools, and deploying AI assistants that streamline legal and HR processes. She explains how small models, explainable AI, and robust accountability frameworks are not just for big tech they’re essential for start-ups too.

They also discuss Zahra’s leadership of the UKAI Women in AI Working Group, addressing bias in AI systems and building a supportive community for women and non-binary professionals working in the field.
