Kanwal Aalijah
AI programme & product leaderDubai, UAE

I build AI that ships, and I help govern the AI that others ship.

I'm Kanwal. Over ten years I've taken thirteen AI products from idea to production across government, fintech, retail, and food tech, for organisations from Nike and EY to the GCC public sector. Today I'm a Programme Manager for AI at the Dubai Future Foundation, inside the Dubai Centre for AI, and I run kan.consulting on the side.
