In the literal sense, she is creating computer vision technology that uses artificial intelligence to better identify objects and people. But Russakovsky, an assistant professor of computer science, also wants to help grow the next generation of artificial intelligence computer scientists, to expand the field’s diversity of thought to better serve all of humanity.

Children under 8 spend at least a couple of hours per day interacting with digital content, yet online security has yet to join the ranks of other early lessons meant to keep kids safe. Realizing this, Marshini Chetty is creating interactive lessons and games aimed at equipping kids with basic skills for maintaining digital privacy.
