Anna Baron
Student researcher and youth advocate working at the intersection of AI literacy, education policy, and global development — from NYC classrooms to the floor of the United Nations.

About
I'm a high school student in New York City researching how young people learn about — and live alongside — artificial intelligence. I've spoken at the UN ECOSOC Youth Forum on AI literacy and the Sustainable Development Goals, advise the NYC Department of Education on responsible AI use in schools, and contribute student perspective to research at Stanford's Graduate School of Education and Binghamton University. Outside of research, I compete on a city-championship varsity gymnastics team, tutor math, and speak three languages.
