About the Artist
Wei Kang
Wei Kang is an artist and AI builder based in New York. By training she is an AI product manager; by practice, a gongbi artist, cartoonist and animator. Her work lives at the edge of two disciplines: hand-drawn illustration and the design of conversational AI systems. Wei is optimistic about AI — and deeply concerned about how humans interact with it. Human wisdom, she believes, comes from dialectic: the friction of thinking something through. But as AI systems compress conversation, skip the middle, and deliver conclusions directly, the human becomes a passenger. There is no longer an equal exchange. There is only a prompt and a reply. In response, Wei developed the AFC framework — a conversational structure in which AI never gives an answer. Instead, it surfaces the conflict: asking about the Actor, the Force, and the Condition shaping a person's trouble. The goal is not resolution. It is recognition. AskDogWise is where that conviction met her art. The dog — her muse, a recurring figure across years of illustration and comic work — became the perfect vessel. He holds no agenda. He carries no framework. He sees your problem the way a dog sees most things: simply, directly, and without the weight of consequence.
