About

Yuk Hui is a philosopher of technology whose work redefines the relationship between technology, art, and non-Western thought. His primary research areas include the philosophy of technology, cybernetics, and cosmotechnics—a concept he developed to explore how different cultures conceptualize and engage with technology. Hui’s major contribution lies in challenging the universalist assumptions of Western technological narratives, arguing instead for a pluralistic understanding of technology rooted in diverse cultural traditions. His most cited work, *Art and Cosmotechnics* (2021, 83 citations), examines how artificial intelligence and robotics disrupt traditional artistic and philosophical frameworks, urging a rethinking of creativity in the age of automation. In his influential book *Recursivity and Contingency* (2019), Hui advances a neovitalist position, redefining recursivity as a dynamic, rule-breaking process rather than mere mechanical repetition—a perspective that has reshaped debates in cybernetics and continental philosophy. With a growing global impact, Hui’s interdisciplinary approach bridges East and West, offering students and researchers a vital framework for understanding technology’s role in shaping human existence.
