Welcome to AI Trust Talks, the podcast where we explore how we can build a future where AI is not only powerful — but also trustworthy.Today’s guest is Kelly Forbes, Executive Director of the AI Asia Pacific Institute — a global nonprofit organization committed to strengthening the Asia-Pacific economies by facilitating the responsible development and adoption of artificial intelligence. With her background as an international lawyer and policy advisor, Kelly is a global voice on AI governance, equity, and inclusion.
Under her leadership, the Institute champions human-centric, rights-based AI that empowers people, especially in developing countries, while tackling global challenges like the digital divide, infrastructure inequality, and governance fragmentation.
In today’s episode, we’ll explore:
• How to build AI that communities can trust
• What’s needed to bridge the infrastructure gap in developing countries
• The real-world benefits of AI done right
• And how the Asia-Pacific region is shaping the future of global AI governance
Join us as we dive deep into the ethical and practical challenges of building a future where technology empowers, rather than replaces, human potential.
