The Hong Kong Polytechnic University School of Design extended a warm welcome to the guests from THE Global AI Forum hosted by the university. The Forum, bringing together academics, researchers, and thought leaders worldwide, focused on sharing and discussing the latest AI ethics developments on 29 November 2024.
During their stay in PolyU, the Forum’s attendees joined a guided tour of School of Design. Our Associate Dean Prof. Yan Tina Luximon introduced the art tech and AI related design research projects of PolyU Design to the guests. These included a social robot embedded with a large language model designed to alleviate stress among the Hong Kong population by Prof. Johan H. Hoorn, AI-enhanced 3D head scanning technology and related product development by Prof. Luximon, and an empathetic navigation system design based on driver's emotion inference from traffic contextual data by Prof. Stephen Wang. The guests also had the opportunity to appreciate the works of this year's graduating students. In addition, Ms Margaret Lam, Associate Director of Campus Development also introduced the amazing architecture of Jockey Club Innovation Tower to the visitors.
Through this event, PolyU Design engaged in an in-depth exchange with AI experts from around the world, once again showcasing its forward-looking and significant position in design and Art tech research within the design field. We all look forward to receiving more academic peers and collaborators in the future.
