Pei Sze Chow

Dr Pei Sze Chow ( 周珮詩 ) is Assistant Professor of Digital Culture and New Media at the Wee Kim Wee School of Communication and Information, where she teaches courses on global cinema cultures and cultural studies. Dr Chow currently researches the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on the labour of creative practitioners in the cultural and creative industries, with a focus on Singapore and other Asian contexts. She is also interested in the broader political economy of AI, the geopolitical dynamics in its deployment across different national contexts, and the ecological costs of AI adoption. In 2022, she co-founded the AI and Cultural Production group at the Amsterdam School for Cultural Analysis and was elected a Fellow of the Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) in Amsterdam in 2023. Her earlier research on AI and its applications in cinema has been cited by the European Commission in policy reports and forms the basis of many invitations to lecture on the topic across Europe and Asia. Prior to joining NTU, Dr Chow held faculty positions at the University of Amsterdam (the Netherlands), Aarhus University (Denmark) and in 2017, she was awarded the highly competitive Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions Fellowship by the European Commission for her postdoctoral project on the regional digital visual industries in Denmark. She has taught film studies courses in the United Kingdom at the University of Greenwich and University College London, where she earned her PhD with a thesis on transnational cinemas in Scandinavia.
