Season 2 of the CNBC Changemakers podcast features conversations with female leaders shaping the future of business, policy and culture in the age of AI.

In this episode, Google DeepMind Chief AI Readiness Officer Lila Ibrahim joins CNBC’s Julia Boorstin to examine how AI can be built responsibly—and used to solve some of the world’s most urgent problems. Ibrahim explains DeepMind’s work behind Gemini and AlphaFold, and how advances in AI could accelerate scientific discovery, expand access to education and help more people reach their potential.

As concerns grow over AI’s risks and disruption, Ibrahim makes the case that its benefits must be made accessible to communities around the world. She shares what it takes to build trust, safety and governance into AI from the start; why workers should begin experimenting with the technology now; and why human qualities such as curiosity, compassion and connection will matter more, not less, in the AI era. Plus, Ibrahim reflects on her path from engineering and venture capital to the front lines of artificial intelligence.

Season 2 of the CNBC Changemakers podcast spotlights the women shaping the future of business, policy and culture in the age of AI.

In episode one, CNBC’s Julia Boorstin goes inside the urgent effort to prepare America’s workforce for an AI disruption expected to disproportionately affect jobs held by women. Former U.S. Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo examines how artificial intelligence could reshape work, skills and economic opportunity—and what workers, companies and policymakers must do now to ensure more Americans share in its benefits.

Raimondo, now co-chair and CEO of RAISE US, is building workforce infrastructure designed to help Americans train, transition and thrive as AI reshapes the economy. For her, the mission is personal: her father lost his manufacturing job when production moved overseas, an experience that cemented her belief that workers need a real bridge—not just a warning—when technology and globalization transform industries.
