You are invited to an online public lecture titled “Cyberpsychology in the Age of AI,” which is part of the HEResearch* Global Distinguished Scholar Lecture Series.
We are honored to have Dr. Jaimee STUART from the United Nations University Institute in Macau as our distinguished speaker, Prof. Liangwen KUO from Shanghai Jiao Tong University and our own Dr. Kaby KUNG as discussants. Dr. Penn IP, who is also our colleague, will chair the session with Guido APPOLDT.
About the Lecture:
Pervasive and omnipresent connection to digital technology and the growth in artificial intelligence (AI) has had a profound impact on our everyday work and lives. Digital technologies are influencing our psychology, shaping the ways we think, feel, and act as well as increasing our capabilities. Cyberspace can no longer be contrasted with the “real” world and is arguably an extended sphere of life where there are new opportunities, risks, and potentialities, but is also a place where human needs can be met. The field of cyberpsychology seeks to understand the psychological processes underlying computer-human interactions and to explicate the motivations, mechanisms, and impacts of technology in our lives. Research highlights digital technologies create affordance that may change the way we behave, our attitudes, and how we interact with one another for both the good and the bad. In the age of AI where digital tools are more sophisticated than ever before and algorithms dictate much of the information we are exposed to, it is more important than ever to understand the potential impacts of technologies on our health and well-being. This lecture introduces emerging research at the intersection of psychology and AI, emphasizing both risks and opportunities, and critically assessing AI's role in a future that supports human flourishing.
*HEResearch (學術巾幗) is a collaborative project organized by the School of Arts and Social Sciences at our university and the School of Media and Communication at Shanghai Jiao Tong University.

10月27日周五黃昏，香港最具原創力的電影人韋家輝將到訪都大校園，與我們重温他的早期作品，並分享對人生的终極關懷。
早在電視時期，韋家輝的不少作品，已是觀眾和同行眼中的神作。進入電影界後，他是銀河映像創作路線的奠基者和靈魂人物，和電影拍檔杜琪峯導演的繆思。他極度原創，絕不重覆，不按常理出牌，且往往推陳出新。他的創作觀和世界觀，深深影響著銀河映像作品，其中對命運、選擇、生命循環、善惡因果、自由意志和人定勝天等課題的哲思，提昇了香港作品的內涵和藝術性，並釋放創作的顛覆性。
在上屆香港電影金像獎得獎致謝辭時，韋家輝首先感謝上帝，透露了他皈依基督。從對人生命運，思考果報問題，到在拍攝《神探大戰》時認定了基督教的信仰，對於這位電影人來說，有過一番怎樣的人生體會？這次嚴肅的領悟，又將會怎樣影響韋家輝未來的電影寫作？
我們誠意邀請大家參舆這場繞有意思的電影及分享會，到時亦將有其他電影人出席。
下周五6 pm在IOH F0401 室將先放映韋家輝，杜琪峯導演的電影《大隻佬》，分享會隨後约於7:30開始；由文潔華教授，影評人登徒主持。
