HKU scholars have been looking at these issues from multiple perspectives, as shown in the examples on these pages – revealing why it is urgently important to improve our ability to communicate with AI; the potential impact on concepts of the self from digitisation; the positive impact on health from AI; how our physical interaction with technology influences our behaviour; and how the art world is producing accessible works that expose and poke fun at the digitisation of our lives. 18 02 30 44 38 20 36 Out of the Blue Vision for a Village The Eyes Have It The Impossible Book Snuffing out Alternative Tobacco Products THE MIX MASTER Consuming Interests 48
