The Research
Explore our interdisciplinary project on cultural resilience
Humanizing Technologies: A Survival Toolkit Navigating the Artificial Intelligence Era in Migration Studies is an interdisciplinary project that leverages mixed reality (MR), artificial intelligence (AI), migrants’ oral history, and qualitative research to develop innovative solutions for multifaceted challenges faced by first- and second-generation immigrants. These challenges include cultural differences, generation gaps, communication barriers, career struggles, family dynamics, and mental well-being. The research focuses on enhancing cultural resilience and fostering stronger connections among different generations within migrant communities.
The key research questions include: How can we build resilience using novel ideas
and technologies, especially in mixed reality (MR), to support the storytelling of migrants’
stories?
How do we create new AI large language models (LLM) that produce more diverse and inclusive AI video footages and engage AI technologies meaningfully and ethically? Moreover, how can we develop a role model (or a ‘survival toolkit’) for fellow academics to use the heated debate technologies in migration studies and for social good with less or no bias? MR encompasses a range of technologies that blend the physical and virtual worlds, finding applications in various fields. These technologies offer new ways to visualize and interact with data and environments, including Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR).
