GRAZIA Game Changers 2025: Ayesha Khanna Is Challenging How We Think Of Artificial Intelligence

"I hope to demonstrate that AI can be a powerful force for good, enriching our lives and creating a more just and equitable world."

The GRAZIA Game Changers initiative honours visionaries who challenge the status quo across fashion, beauty, technology, the arts, and sports.

My journey into AI was driven by both curiosity and necessity. I have always been fascinated by how technology shapes human society, but a defining moment came when I realised that AI wasn't just about algorithms — it was about people.

I'm driven by a fundamental belief that technology should serve humanity, not the other way around. The status quo often prioritises profit and efficiency over empathy and inclusivity.

I used to think that technical expertise was the most critical ingredient for success in AI. Now, I realise that emotional intelligence, empathy and strong communication skills are equally important.

I want to dismantle the stereotype that AI is a cold, impersonal technology devoid of human values. By emphasising the importance of human-centred design, I hope to demonstrate that AI can be a powerful force for good.
