Paulina DeVito, 22, has received the award for her groundbreaking work in AI and education. A standout scholar who earned two bachelor's degrees by 20 and a master's with a perfect GPA in just one year, DeVito now investigates how generative AI is discussed across social media - especially among young women in STEM. Her research analyzes themes, sentiments, and engagement around hashtags like #WomenInSTEM to inform ethical, AI-based educational tools and policy, spotlighting issues like flawed AI cheating detectors in schools.
