In her first session of the conference, slated for 12 noon in the Prince of Wales room, Gonzalez will join Gopal Ramchurn of Responsible AI UK and Nia Castelly, co-founder and head of legal at Checks, Google's AI-powered platform that helps developers build safer products by simplifying privacy compliance. Entitled Demystifying Responsible AI: A Guide for Leaders, this panel will explore the challenges, opportunities, regulatory considerations and strategies necessary to successfully deploy responsible AI.

Gonzalez will also participate in a panel discussion entitled AI Leadership: Unlocking Innovation through Diverse Voices, taking place at 2 pm in the Prince of Wales room.

"We are in such an exciting period of time, at the precipice of significant global changes thanks to the power and potential of AI. However, without a conscientious effort to ensure ethical and responsible AI practices that prioritize a diverse group of voices, we could be facing a future rife with problems," said Gonzalez.

I'm thrilled to be a part of these important conversations to move the industry forward on the best path possible."
