A pioneer in brain science and neurotechnology, Dr Jamil El-Imad has decades of broad experience in the field of technology, spanning both academia and the private sector. He currently serves as an Honorary Senior Research Fellow at Imperial College London and acts as an advisor to UHNW clients and prominent Family Offices across the Middle East and globally. Jamil is a member of Astraea's Special Situations Advisory Panel.

This podcast offers a rare opportunity to hear from someone with the experience and perspective to understand the 'big picture' and cut through the noise and hype around technological development. In conversation with Astraea's Tanya Costello, Jamil discusses the rapid development and adoption of generative AI, how it might and should be used by the private sector (and professional services, in particular) and whether machines will ever be able to 'think' like human beings. Sensitive to the downside of rapid technological advancement and the effects on mental health and wellbeing, Jamil also discusses the potential for the same technology to provide therapeutic support.
