Philosophy of AI
AI&Humanity-Lab
I’m the founder and director of AI&Humanity-Lab at HKU, funded by a major grant from HKU: AI&Humanity-Lab. AI&Humanity-Lab@HKU conducts research on the ways in which AI interacts with and transforms humanity. Our projects are interdisciplinary with a basis in philosophy.
I’m on the steering committee for the Institute of Data Science at HKU. Here I discuss my work in that context.
MA in AI, Ethics and Society
I’m the program director of a new MA program at the University of Hong Kong: AI, Ethics and Society. More information about the program can be found here: https://www.maaies.arts.hku.hk/
