Demystifying Artificial Intelligence

I’m Ehab Shanti, an AI and networks sociologist, founder, and speaker. I help organizations understand artificial intelligence — not just how it works, but what it means.

My work focuses on demystifying AI by uncovering how algorithms and digital systems shape human behaviour, decision-making, and institutional power.

I bridge the gap between complex technical systems and the social realities they influence, helping organisations anticipate risks, align AI with their values, and build more ethical, human-centred technologies. If you’re navigating the intersection of AI and society, I can help you do it with clarity and foresight.

Engagements

AI is no longer just a technical system, it’s a social and commercial force. With a deep understanding of how AI actually works, from model design to deployment, I help organizations make sense of its real-world implications.

In my talks, I break down complex processes and connect them to the broader systems they shape. My workshops equip teams to think critically about AI’s impact and strategic potential.

Through research collaborations, I bridge technical depth with big-picture thinking to tackle the hard questions others overlook.I don’t just explain AI, I unpack what it does, what it means, and why it matters.
