About Rafel:

Rafel Jaume is an associate professor at Ramon Llull University, researcher, composer, and an emerging voice in humanistic governance of artificial intelligence. His trajectory does not follow a straight line — it is a deliberate superposition of layers: each dimension he has built enriches and deepens all the others.

His background is rooted in philosophy, digital innovation, and musical composition. He studied composition at the Film Scoring Academy of Europe, where he trained with industry leaders such as Christopher Young, Harry Gregson-Williams, Norman Ludwin, Miriam Cutler, and Wilhelm von Dungen, among others. Today, he remains active as a composer, working on choral music and musical theatre, because artistic practice is not his past: it is the layer that allows him to understand what machines cannot replace.

He has been a researcher at the Artificial Intelligence Observatory at La Salle Campus Barcelona - URL, a choral director with over eight years of experience, and president of Technova Young, the young entrepreneurs' association. He teaches at universities such as URL, UB, and UPC, and participates in forums of the Catalan Society of Philosophy.

His research explores how symbolic systems, from language to algorithms, shape the way we think, learn, and create. With a humanistic and interdisciplinary perspective, he focuses his work on the ethical and social implications of artificial intelligence and on how these technologies redefine contemporary cultural, educational, and institutional experience.

He is the founder and director of CAIRAI, a consultancy and research body that helps schools, universities, cultural institutions, and public organisations integrate AI in an ethical, creative, and meaningful way. CAIRAI is not just a company — it is the institutional materialisation of his intellectual framework: the place where ideas become programmes, strategies, and concrete policy.

At the intersection of all this lies a conviction that organises his work: that the most powerful technology of our time cannot be designed, governed, or inhabited without the people who understand what it means to be human — and that philosophy, art, and education are not ornaments of the AI debate, but its centre.

Rafel Jaume works to be one of those people. And to build the institutions, frameworks, and conversations that allow us, as a society, to rise to the moment we are living through.
