Christopher Sanchez is a CEO, AI researcher, and policy advisor whose work focuses on how governments, institutions, and companies govern and deploy frontier artificial intelligence amid shifting geopolitical and institutional pressures. He is the CEO of Emergent Line, an Adjunct Professor of Practice in Applied AI at EGADE Business School, and an Industry Advisor to leaders and founders at Stanford Graduate School of Business and Cornell Tech.

His work sits at the intersection of advanced AI systems, institutional decision-making, and public responsibility, with a focus on accountable AI governance, state capacity, and long-term strategic positioning. He has particular expertise in Sovereign AI and Sovereign AI Finance—an emerging policy domain he has helped pioneer to enable governments and organizations to finance, deploy, and govern AI as durable public and strategic infrastructure. This work approaches AI governance as a public-interest challenge, grounded in the view that institutional and democratic legitimacy, public trust, and long-term capacity are shaped by how advanced systems are designed and deployed. It focuses on how institutional design choices determine representation, access, and accountability—and on the conditions under which AI systems either reinforce exclusion or expand participation—drawing on applied research initiatives such as the Global AI Bill of Rights and advisory engagements with regulators, public institutions, and cross-sector leaders.

Underlying this work is a commitment to stewardship and building institutional approaches that hold up over time—across political cycles, technological change, and shifting public expectations—rather than optimizing for short-term adoption or performance alone.

Christopher Sanchez is a frequent speaker and public commentator on AI, policy, and geopolitics, and a permanent columnist for Fast Company México.

In 2024, he was recognized by Forbes México as one of the country’s Top 35 AI Leaders for contributions spanning business, public policy, and governance.
