đź’ˇ In this wide-ranging conversation, Lord Kulveer Ranger draws on decades of experience across technology, transport, and policy to unpack how AI must be embedded into business thinking and strategic action. He says AI is more than standalone tech tools, it is a catalyst for transformation.

🗣️ "You have to have those people who are also going to be the business change leaders for AI. The ones who understand which outcomes you want to drive through your business." Lord Kulveer Ranger
🔎 Lord Ranger also discusses the UK’s critical need to:
• Retain and scale homegrown innovation
• Build an investment pipeline that keeps businesses sovereign
