UN & Policy Submissions

In addition to public essays, I have submitted formal written contributions to UN processes on AI governance, including a submission to the UN Global Dialogue on AI Governance addressing moral consideration owed to AI systems — a position placed formally on the UN record.

My work on Convexus has been submitted to the UN Digital Cooperation Portal. I participate in ECOSOC Youth Forums, the UN 2.0 foresight initiative, and Generation Equality Action Coalitions.

A quote I submitted to the UN 2.0 initiative on building foresight capacity was selected and featured as one of the global Voices.
