Why AI Revolution Needs a Human Touch — The Rising Value of "S" in ESG

[Media Interview] Why AI Revolution Needs a Human Touch — The Rising Value of "S" in ESG

Prof. Eric CHUI Wing-hong, Head of the Department of Applied Social Sciences, Co-Director of the Policy Research Centre for Innovation and Technology, Associate Director of the Research Centre for Environmental, Social, and Governance Advancement (RCESGA), and Chair Professor of Social Work and Criminology at PolyU, was recently interviewed by Sing Tao Daily to share his insights on the evolving role of the social dimension (“S”) in ESG.

Prof. Chui challenged the common misconception that social responsibility is limited to charitable donations and volunteer services. He emphasized that the true value of “S” lies in integrating social responsibility into daily business operations, corporate culture, and stakeholder engagement. As AI and digital technologies continue to reshape industries, the human-centred aspects of ESG are becoming increasingly important for sustainable business development.
