0238 - A Storied Academic Life - Karamjit Gill

Today’s episode is a cross-pod release with the UCD Centre for Innovation, Technology and Organisation.

The following is the second recording from the Music and Virtual Worlds Workshop held on the 20th of June, 2024 – where invited guest, Emeritus Professor Karamjit Gill, co-founder and editor of the journal AI & Society reflected on his personal academic habitus; How he felt called to take action and respond to the question: How do you bring people together to help others, to make change and create social value through technology, without money, without power, without fame, and when the human-technological-systems to do this are yet to be invented?
