For my project, I hope to make the understanding of digital and AI rights easier for children specifically, alongside other marginalised groups who could be exploited through a lack of understanding of their rights.

What do you hope to get from the programme?

I started my Arts undergraduate at the University of Cape Town and fell for the critical, creative inquiry. I took a coding course, and I was fascinated by how tech problems always seemed to have a clearer, structured solution. In the marriage of the two, I always felt there were sensible, empathetic, well-thought out decisions. […]
