- HKBU, Boston University, Korea University and the University of Vienna organised the three-day meeting.
A four-university meeting
Hong Kong Baptist University said on October 19 that its School of Communication hosted the inaugural AI-TEM 2026 conference with Boston University, Korea University and the University of Vienna. The meeting took place at HKBU from October 16 to 18 and attracted more than 200 participants from around the world, according to the university’s press release.
The conference focused on responsible AI communication, including ethical challenges, unequal access to AI and emerging forms of exclusion. It brought together international scholars, faculty members and postgraduate students for research presentations and discussion.
Trust and social interaction
Three panel discussions covered the four-university partnership, human-machine coexistence and the crisis of trust in the AI era. The university said these sessions examined how AI-mediated communication affects social interaction and how AI changes the conditions for trust and credibility.
Secondary-school students also joined an interactive session with academics, asking about AI ethics, everyday life and future employment. HKBU said the four partner universities committed to continuing collaboration and academic exchanges on socially responsible AI communication research.
