From self-driving vehicles to AI-optimised logistics, the transport sector is racing ahead with innovation. But in many cities, the everyday reality tells a different story. Financially strained councils are reducing services while charging more, public infrastructure is lagging and poorly planned electric vehicle rollouts have left many unconvinced. And with the rise of 15- or 20-minute city policies promoted by the World Economic Forum, important questions are surfacing “What happens to the elderly, the disabled, small businesses or caregivers who depend on cars? Are we building a future for all or just for some?”

AI may be advancing logistics and mobility design, but it risks exacerbating existing transport inequalities. While digital solutions are being deployed at pace, many communities especially those…

The COVID-19 pandemic didn’t just disrupt education it exposed every crack in the system. From infrastructure gaps to digital exclusion, millions of students were left behind while teachers scrambled to adapt. And now, AI is being positioned as the solution to everything.  Personalised learning, automated grading, real-time feedback, but we must ask who is steering this transformation and what values are guiding it?

AI in education promises scale and efficiency, but without diverse leadership and inclusive design, it risks reproducing the same inequities that have always existed this time at lightning speed. Post-pandemic, learners and educators alike are seeking not just technology, but trust, connection and support.

The legal profession has long been synonymous with tradition, precedent and slow-moving change. But AI isn’t waiting. It’s already reshaping the field automating research, scanning contracts in seconds and even predicting case outcomes. What does this mean for the legal profession and for women over 40 trying to lead with integrity in an increasingly digitised world?

While AI claims to offer efficiency and access, it also introduces serious risks. Legal AI tools are often trained on flawed datasets perpetuating biases that have long plagued marginalised communities. Without proper oversight, the systems meant to accelerate justice can deepen inequality.

In regions where many women still don’t have a bank account like Africa, India and parts of Latin America AI isn’t just enhancing banking, it’s leapfrogging it. These markets are embracing mobile-first solutions, decentralised finance and community-driven fintech to reach millions. Meanwhile, legacy institutions across the West remain mired in outdated infrastructure, regulatory gridlock and a culture of incrementalism that stifles progress.

While the Western banking system struggles with trust, bureaucracy and slowness, emerging markets are innovating out of necessity. For women in developed markets particularly women over 40 in leadership this creates a sharp pivot point. Do we maintain tradition or do we reimagine access, equity and value creation?
