Project
Justice Entrepreneurship: Markets, Justice Experiences and AI
This project focuses on the relationship between entrepreneurship, justice and technology, notably artificial intelligence (AI). Recent developments in AI are igniting rapid and profound changes for the economic roles of humans. Along with this have been new conceptions of justice and the meaning of a just society. The concept of “justice experience” refers to the tangible and intangible experiences individuals and communities have in relation to the just (fairness, equity, and reparation) within their contexts. This encompasses how justice is understood, enacted, and felt by people as they navigate through various aspects of life, including productive activities, social interactions, and institutional engagements. As such, it is important to understand economic justice, the economics of justice, and the dynamics between them.

Project
Global Governance for Advancing AI: Navigating Challenges and Promoting Inclusive and Ethical Futures
This project consists of a lecture series that explores the intricate relationship between AI, society, and global governance, offering a comprehensive examination of four critical topics: AI, Labor, and the Economy; AI and Media Integrity; AI and Inclusive Research & Design; and AI and Global Politics. Each topic will feature a keynote speaker of distinction and a dynamic roundtable discussion, providing diverse insights from leaders in academia, industry, and policy-making. Together, these sessions will foster an in-depth understanding of AI’s societal impact and its implications for a just and sustainable global future.
