Anima Anandkumar
AI + Science Pioneer & Caltech Bren Professor
Anima Anandkumar is one of the world’s most influential voices shaping how artificial intelligence is built, governed and trusted. A Professor of Computing and Mathematical Sciences at Caltech and former Principal Scientist at NVIDIA, she operates at the frontier of AI research, translating deep technical insight into strategic clarity for leaders navigating high-stakes decisions.
Her work focuses on the foundations that now matter most: robustness, interpretability, safety and accountability. As AI systems increasingly influence economies, institutions and lives, Anima helps organisations understand not just what AI enables, but where it breaks, and why that matters.
Her keynotes are not speculative or sensational. They are grounded, rigorous and designed for decision-makers who need to act with confidence in an era where intelligence scales faster than governance.
