LINA KHAN

The Rule Breaker 
Chair of the U.S Federal Trade commission AI Governance & Antitrust Policy

Lina khan is rewriting the rulebook on power in the age of algorithms. As chair of the Federal Trade Commission, she’s one of the most powerful voices in global tech regulation—and she's using that power to confront AI monopolies head-on. Her groundbreaking legal scholarship on platform dominance laid the intellectual foundation for modern antitrust enforcement, and now, she’s turning that vision toward AI.

Khan represents a new era of policymaking—one that doesn’t treat technology as neutral, but as deeply embedded in systems of influence, inequality, and control. She isn’t just regulating markets; she’s reclaiming democracy from the grip of opaque algorithms and unchecked innovation.
