I work on whether AI's ideas of fairness, safety, and trust survive translation across languages and cultures,
and on bringing that dialogue to people across disciplines.
My background runs across AI ethics and responsible AI research (Technical University of Munich, Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University), technology communications (Siemens), and breaking-news journalism (Reuters News), built over a decade between Asia and Europe.
I also write bilingual short fiction, completely out of love.
Here are the different hats I wear.
-
Academic research
AI governance and ethics research with computational methods, intercultural data-ethics facilitation, and peer-reviewed publications.
-
AI East West
An initiative I founded on the cultural and disciplinary gaps in responsible AI.
-
Creative Writing
Bilingual writer of short stories and essays on technology and the arts, in Chinese and English.
-
Tech for Good
Founding member of a non-profit exploring blockchain for the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Our techno-social infrastructure is rapidly reshaping the lives of millions, who are often far away from the topic-domains that engineer their choices, identities and security.
What I believe in:
The bridge that connects the worlds of research and public conversations require emotionally engaging mediums.
Current exploration:
Building on my cross-disciplinary experience in journalism, digital communications and non-profit entrepreneurhsip across Hong Kong and Germany, I’m keen to help bridge academic research, literacy education and popular art with my work.
