Dr Ruhi Khan, FRSA, FHEA, is an academic expert at the London School of Economics (LSE) on the political economy of AI — how it creates value, where it concentrates risk, and what governance conditions are required for long-term competitive advantage. She works at the intersection of AI ethics, critical media, and global technology policy. She is a Faculty Affiliate at LSE's Data Science Institute, a Lecturer in the Department of Media and Communications and a Research Fellow at the Department of Gender Studies.

An experienced panel moderator and event chair, Dr Khan brings the same forens
