Juan Lavista Ferres

How can artificial intelligence help address global challenges - and how do we ensure its benefits reach everyone? In Episode 61 of Voices of Sustainability, host Anita Erskine sits down with Juan Lavista Ferres, Microsoft's Chief Data Scientist and Corporate Vice President to explore AI’s potential to advance sustainability and expand access to knowledge. From helping conservationists turn data into action to making AI accessible across languages and communities, the conversation examines how technology can support practical solutions to real-world challenges. It also explores how society can maximise AI’s benefits while managing its risks. Access to electricity, connectivity, devices and tools in people’s own languages is central to this effort, alongside the knowledge people need to use them. Watch the full episode for a conversation on putting AI to work for a sustainable, inclusive future.

Arundhati Roy, author and activist: Writing is universal

“When I was writing it I didn’t think it would touch such a universal chord, you know, because it seemed to me so weird, my childhood and my mother and my life, it was, but of course, everybody has something. And a lot of people I meet have said this to me and that it helped them see their parents as human beings and not just parents.” Ishadrita Lahiri speaks to acclaimed author and activist, Arundhati Roy. One of India’s most celebrated writers and outspoken political voices Roy rose to international fame in 1997 with her Booker Prize-winning debut novel The God of Small Things. Since then she has become as well known for political activism as for her fiction, challenging those in power and using her writing to engage with questions of inequality, nationalism and human rights. In her latest book, Mother Mary Comes to Me, Roy reflects on her complex relationship with her mother and the ways it shaped her life and work. We explore her literary journey, political convictions and what’s shaped her writing. The Interview brings you conversations with people shaping our world, from all over the world.
