A Storied Academic Life - Karamjit Gill
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?
As a side note:
This segment of the workshop was originally intended as a dialog between Professors Karamjit Gill and Liam Bannon, talking about the role of technology in shaping human society and implications for computer mediated immersive experiences.
Unfortunately, due to illness Liam was unable to attend on the day, but we did visit him later in the afternoon at University Hospital Limerick. As it happened, Liam was in great form and while he wasn’t able to check-out from the hospital on the day, he was able to finally meet Karamjit and Satinder on a warm summer’s evening. In fact it was their first face-to-face meeting even though they had known one another for many years and been involved in writing and reviewing for the journal from afar.
So this is something by way of explanation for this episode’s cover art; a photo of Liam, Satinder, and Karamjit at UHL. And the lower picture is a snapshot from the panel discussion in the Irish Chamber Orchestra Building, University of Limerick.
