Senior Tech & AI Leader, Ericsson Canada
Prasad Garigipati is a technology executive with more than 25 years of experience turning AI, big data, and advanced analytics into large-scale systems across global telecom and innovation ecosystems. He has led cross-sector initiatives that bring together industry, academia, and public institutions to move ideas from research labs into operational networks with tangible societal impact.
His current focus is on what happens when AI, especially powerful generative systems, meets real communities, real institutions, and real inequalities. His work and research interests centre on how to govern AI so it does not deepen the emerging AI divide, raising sharp questions about responsibility, anticipatory risk, and institutional readiness.
He approaches these challenges through an interdisciplinary lens that connects engineering, education, governance, and social outcomes, and is actively engaged in practical cross-sector efforts to build more resilient and inclusive AI governance.
