Bio

Hi! I'm Ruby Amyeen. I'm a high school senior planning to attend Columbia University next year. I'm going to be majoring in computer science. I'm especially interested in artificial intelligence. I believe AI will be ubiquitous, so I want to get involved in this field to ensure we build an ethical digital world that respects the boundaries between humanity and technology. I care deeply about mitigating biases in large datasets to avoid perpetuating harmful stereotypes in AI.
