📹CityUHK COM x BNU x HKBU Youth2 Videography Workshop

🏫From August 31 to September 5, 2026, the CityUHK Department of Media and Communication (COM) co-hosted the Youth2 Videography Workshop alongside the School of Journalism and Communication at Beijing Normal University (BNU) and the School of Communication at Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU). Approximately 20 students from these three institutions participated in various activities, including visits to a television broadcasting company, campus tours, and a videography workshop. They also produced a mini video documenting their experience during the trip to Hong Kong. These activities are designed to broaden their perspectives and prepare them for future career challenges.

😆Liu Yantong, one of the student participants from CityUHK, was delighted to engage with fellow students and media experts. “The workshop has deepened my understanding of Hong Kong’s diverse media landscape. I learned about the industry’s operating context and the real-world challenges within Hong Kong’s communication sector. Beyond these professional takeaways, I truly value the opportunity to connect with peers from BNU. Exploring local life and experiencing the unique rhythm of day-to-day Hong Kong together with them has been an incredibly rewarding experience.”

📰Mapping the sociotechnical imaginaries of generative AI in UK, US, Chinese, and Indian newspapers

On 2 September 2026, Professor John Downey from Loughborough University delivered a seminar titled “Mapping the sociotechnical imaginaries of generative AI in UK, US, Chinese, and Indian newspapers.”

👨🏻‍🏫In the seminar, Professor Downey examined the diverse and contested visions of the supposed impact of generative artificial intelligence on society. He observed that generative artificial intelligence has sparked a widespread public discourse oscillating between utopian and dystopian visions about a technologically determined near future. Employing the concept of AI imaginary and utilizing Cave and Dihals conceptual framework he developed a quantitative methodology to map the utopian and dystopian narratives of generative artificial intelligence. He revealed a dystopian perspective in the United Kingdom and the United States focusing on challenges such as workforce displacement and misinformation whereas in China and India the narrative is more utopian highlighting potential benefits for technological leadership economic growth and social advancement. The study provides methodological and conceptual tools for a comparative examination of the sociotechnical imaginaries of generative artificial intelligence.

🏫Faculty members and doctoral students attended the session and engaged in a lively and intellectually stimulating discussion. In responding to questions from the audience, Professor Downey shared valuable insights on how national newspapers construct competing sociotechnical imaginaries of generative AI.

John Downey is Professor of Comparative Media Analysis and Associate Pro Vice Chancellor at Loughborough University, UK. He was elected to the Academy of European Sciences in 2022 and to the Academy of Social Sciences in the UK in 2025. His research interests include environmental communication media and politics in India and the impact of AI on the cultural and creative industries.
