He holds a first class Law degree from the University of Oxford and has worked internationally, including in Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Paris.

Together, Emma and Minesh explore one of the most urgent questions facing organisations today: how do we regulate, govern and truly trust AI in high-stakes environments like law, finance and the judiciary?

Key themes in this episode include:

• The layered reality of AI regulation beyond the EU AI Act
• Why general purpose AI creates complex compliance challenges
• The gap between regulatory expectations and operational reality
• Moving from AI literacy to AI fluency
• Responsible AI vs legal compliance and where ethics begins
• AI in the courtroom, hallucinations and liability
• Whether AI can reduce human bias in legal decision making
• How regulated industries must adapt to rapid AI adoption

Minesh also shares his perspective on trust thresholds for AI in judicial contexts, professional codes of conduct, and why expecting perfection from AI may not be the right benchmark for building trust.

This episode is essential listening for board members, legal professionals, compliance leaders, policymakers and anyone navigating the evolving AI regulatory landscape.
