Yuk Hui is Professor of Philosophy at Erasmus University Rotterdam, where he holds the Chair of Human Conditions. He is a philosopher of technology whose work bridges Eastern and Western traditions to rethink the cultural and philosophical foundations of artificial intelligence.
Trained in both computer science and philosophy, Hui is best known for his theory of cosmotechnics—the idea that technological practices are always shaped by distinct cosmological and cultural logics. This framework challenges universalizing models of technological progress and invites us to consider how different cultural and philosophical traditions can generate alternative technological futures.
His books include The Question Concerning Technology in China, Recursivity and Contingency, and Art and Cosmotechnics. His work offers powerful tools for understanding AI not just as a technical phenomenon, but as a philosophical and cultural one.
