Her work blends strategic insight, interdisciplinary research, and public engagement, helping organisations navigate new technologies with responsibility and foresight.

As a speaker, she demystifies AI ethics, responsible innovation, and futures thinking—making complex concepts accessible to policymakers, business leaders, and creative communities. Passionate about inclusive and thoughtful tech governance, Alina advocates for future systems that reflect human values, cultural diversity, and sustainable long-term thinking.
