Global Challenge: Reverse-Engineer The Brain

My wish is to attack problems that lie right at the heart of society. If we could protect the world with proper AI safety safeguards and allow effortless travel with enhanced public transportation, my mission would be complete."

 

Bio:

Ever since I studied abroad in Sweden in the fall of 2023 and have learned about the promise of effective altruism, I finally realize there is a way to finally quantify the fast growth of AI and check the evergrowing threat of AI automation negatively affecting humans. With so many new technologies using AI in the 2020s, my goal is to ensure that these technologies can improve the lives of people in the US but also those in third-world countries and improve the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

My promise to contribute to this goal is through entrepreneurship and research; working with universities doing research at the cutting-edge and companies building on LLMs to improve and upgrade automation on the highest level. In the medical sector, we can predict cancer before it becomes too late and create new drug delivery devices with computer vision and nanotechnology that could not be done before. With my passion, determination and hobbies (in biomedicine, public transportation, nanotechnology and deep learning), I know I can make an impact and prove that the world can be a better place in the future.
