Am I Tech Enough Podcast

Meet Arianna Briganti, a leader in advancing AI governance, human rights, accountability and leadership in post-conflict and fragile institutional systems. Growing up in 1980s Northern Italy in what she calls "a matter of luck," Arianna's parents instilled in her a deep sense of equality. This planted the seeds for a non-linear journey of self-correction, purpose, and lifelong pursuit of human rights in everyday practice. With 20 years of frontline work across some of the world's most complex regions, Arianna challenges the "victimhood" narrative often attached to underserved communities, believing that social injustice is fundamentally a matter of Power Imbalance. In this episode, she shares the quote that transformed her view on the interconnectivity of people and power, the most important factor behind successful community-led change, and a reflection of her observations in many communities so profound it left our podcast host emotional. Arianna also shines a light on the brightest and darkest sides of AI, from making specialised knowledge accessible to historically excluded communities, to raising urgent concerns about AI investment in defence and warfare.
