OUR SPEAKER:

Dr. Raiya Kind works at the intersection of language, consciousness, and AI. Weaving cognitive linguistics and cultural theory into Natural Language Understanding and Machine Learning, Raiya's research and career have spanned the University of Oxford, Google, IV.AI, rather insightful side quests into hedge funds and deep tech, as well as personal entrepreneurial escapades.

As Chief Emergence Officer and co-founder of The Wisdom Beyond, Raiya brings together diverse, high impact players in the AI field to catalyze strategic insights in areas such as AI alignment, regeneration, and collective intelligence. Her role as AI Alchemist at Google X serves to further collaborative innovation to harness AI in solving some of the world's most pressing challenges. She also holds a faculty position in the Chief Flourishing Officer program at Compassion 2.0.

Raiya is fond of her interdisciplinary Doctorate research at the nexus of cognitive linguistics, psychology, and cultural anthropology, shining light on the way that inference and judgment differ across cultures. Built on a foundation of research across this work and her MRes in Speech, Language, and Cognition, Raiya's work on Intentional AI and AI narrative explores the intersection of technology and humanity, with a focus on achieving Coherence—aligning teams and organizations toward global harmony.
