At the intersection of artificial intelligence and blockchain, Lia Müller Peña, Chief Strategy Officer and Founding Partner at BitGPT.network, is leading the way in designing technologies that are transparent, inclusive, and ethical by design.
In this edition of our Women Leading the Way series, Lia shares her journey from a background in data architecture and AI ethics to co-founding a platform that combines the power of AI with decentralised systems. Her mission is clear: to build systems that prioritise digital sovereignty, fairness, and accountability.
Raised by a feminist scholar and a neuroscientist, Lia developed a unique lens on technology. She challenges algorithmic bias and champions decentralised architectures for greater transparency.
Lia also speaks passionately about the need for more inclusive leadership in AI and blockchain. She emphasises that qualities often described as “feminine” — collaboration, empathy, and encouragement — are not soft skills. They are strategic strengths for building the future of tech.
Through initiatives like BitGPT.network and her advocacy for diversity in Web3, Lia is inspiring a new generation of women to step into the AI and blockchain space and reimagine what ethical innovation can look like.
