From Work Station to Think Station: Local AI and the Reconstitution of Professional Computing

A researcher sits at a desk with a local model open beside a private archive of PDFs, notes, drafts, and correspondence. A small-business owner sits at another desk, retrieving policy language, summarizing internal files, and drafting responses — without sending a single confidential document to a remote server. These two desks look ordinary. They are not. They mark a shift in the meaning of professional computing that is technical, institutional, and epistemic at once. This essay examines what that shift is, why it matters, and what it demands of those who work with knowledge for a living. – by Dr. Christopher Chung 鍾炳權博士

Hermeneutics and the Development of Artificial Intelligence

From its earliest ambitions, artificial intelligence has been haunted
by an interpretive problem it did not know it had. This essay traces
hermeneutical thought’s encounter with AI across seven decades — from
the early critique of symbolic AI to the deep philosophical questions
raised by today’s large language models. – by Dr. Christopher Chung 鍾炳權博士
