Sang Leigh

Sang’s current work focuses on bringing cutting-edge technology into next generation product experiences—providing future roadmaps for a variety of product lineups as well as prototyping future experiences. His focus is on bringing generative models, affective computing, robotics, and more in redefining fundamental interactions between users and computers, rooted in the expectation the future of UI and systems will be powered by machine intelligence naturally extending our existence.

His larger research and art practice has focused on on robotic and computational tools that work together with human users. His vision proposes extreme synergies between machine tools and humans, with technology essentially becoming a natural extension of our hands. This way, he challenges the fear and criticism around AI and automation that they replace human endeavors, by showing how symbiotic machines can unlock new human explorations and aesthetics.
