I’m beyond excited to announce our upcoming Tech London Advocates Women in Tech event, hosted by Harbottle & Lewis, on Tuesday,4th March from 16:30 onwards. This is an unmissable event for anyone passionate about the intersection of AI, digital trust, and innovation. We are at a defining moment. With the rapid evolution of AI, online safety, and data regulation, conversations about product design, content moderation, and security are no longer optional—they’re essential. Meanwhile, the UK Government is driving economic growth, looking to regulators and industry leaders to help unlock innovation while ensuring a trusted, secure digital landscape. That’s why I’m thrilled to be curating this International Women’s Day event alongside the incredible Emma Wright – a true force for change in tech and law. Emma spearheaded the #InvestHER campaign, which successfully overturned legislation that could have disproportionately impacted female angel investors and founders. ✨ Now, we’re bringing together regulators, tech leaders, and industry pioneers to explore: ✔️ The role of AI, digital ethics, and regulation in shaping the future ✔️ How businesses can balance innovation with consumer trust ✔️ The power of collaboration between government, regulators & industry Spaces are limited! Sign up today: ➡️ https://lnkd.in/en2a5QtW With thanks to Harbottle & Lewis for hosting and GatenbySanderson for supporting #DataRegulationImpact #IWD2025 #WomeninTech #Leadership Tech London Advocates & Global Tech Advocates Russ Shaw CBE Tracey Rob Perera CA PMP FCMI GatenbySanderson

It was great to be at London South Bank University today to kick off a Tech London Advocates & Global Tech Advocates pilot programme with a group of computer science students to be part of a programme for the next six months, to help grow their networks and meet a variety of tech leaders from different backgrounds. The students will be invited to TLA events and be introduced to working groups. An exciting milestone for TLA, TLA Education and LSBU with such inspiring future leaders in AI, data science and quantum. Many thanks to Safia Barikzai, Mark Martin ⭐️ and Jo Tasker FRSA for their leadership in getting this programme underway...and welcome to the students who will be part of the programme: Sarah Tucker Mehruma Shababa ESRA ALIOGLU Zarin Shabab Neyamut Azad Yusuf Dimari Khudeija Kassam Shahrin Zubair + many more!

It's been an incredible month with respect to AI - the UK Government AI Action Plan launch, the Stargate announcement in the US and then DeepSeek from China showing how it is becoming a true disruptor with an open source AI solution. So, what does it mean for the regulatory environment to address this, and how could the UK introduce a 'third way' approach to AI regulation? I have attached my Tech London Advocates & Global Tech Advocates op ed in UKTN to share some thoughts.
