RANA GUJRAL — Speaker Bio

Rana Gujral builds at the frontier of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Cognitive AI, and the long-horizon path toward Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). As CEO of Behavioral Signals, he turns advances in speech-signal processing and representation learning into production systems that infer intent, emotion, and risk from voice. His work sits at the intersection of voice intelligence and high-trust decisioning, powering real-time interaction intelligence, trust and safety, and deepfake detection for enterprises operating in high-stakes environments.

Rana's technical interests span paralinguistics, self-supervised speech embeddings, transformer-based modeling, Artificial General Experience (AGE), robotics, and cybersecurity, with a consistent focus on moving ideas from research into systems that ship. He previously founded TiZE, which was acquired by Alchemy, led Smart Home at Logitech, and drove an innovation-led platform rebuild in consumer technology that helped return a business from near-bankruptcy to profitable growth and set the path to its later $4.4B IPO.

Rana speaks at global forums including the World Government Summit, World AI Cannes Festival, The Next Web, LEAP, and TEDx (1M+ views), and has written for TechCrunch and Forbes on applied AI, voice intelligence, leadership, and responsible deployment. Recognition includes Inc.'s "AI Entrepreneur to Watch," SoundHound's "Top 40 Voice AI Influencers," "Most Influential CEO" by CEO Monthly, and "Top 10 Entrepreneurs to Follow" by Huffington Post.

His first book, The AI Instinct: The Future of AI and Human Decision-Making (Wiley, August 2026), features a foreword by Kai-Fu Lee and an external review by Joscha Bach. The book introduces Artificial General Experience as a missing dimension in current AGI discourse and explores hybrid cognition as the likely architecture of superintelligence.
