The transformative potential of artificial intelligence is currently an area Gill is wanting to explore further. As we progress through 2024 with new tools being released every week, she sees AI as a revolutionary force with the ability to enhance how we learn, create, and communicate, bringing significant empowerment to individuals and communities. Gill is eager to collaborate with others who are exploring the intersection of AI and community engagement. Whether it’s over a casual coffee or an online 'zoffee', she is keen to exchange ideas and explore how AI can further empower people and ensure that technological advancements contribute positively to society, and don’t just make the digital divide even wider.
