The Committee’s industry leaders include Kamal Ahluwalia, President at Ikigai Labs; Todd Skinner, President of International at TransUnion and USIBC Board Chairman and Executive Vice Chairman of Nasdaq, Ed Knight, according to the USIBC press release.

Ed Knight said, “The creation of USIBC’s AI-TF is major step towards fostering a deeper partnership on the most innovative and transformative technologies of our time.”

Notably, the USIBC represents hundreds of top global companies operating across the United States, India, and the Indo-Pacific. Through their flagship offices in Washington, DC and New Delhi and their presence across both nations, USIBC works with its members to identify and advance key policy priorities. (ANI)
