Survival of the Best Fit
Created by four NYU Abu Dhabi alumni – Gabor Csapo (Class of 2018), Jihyun Kim (Class of 2018), Miha Klasinc (Class of 2018), and Alia ElKattan (Class of 2020) – when they were undergraduate students, this award winning educational game highlights hiring bias in AI, by demonstrating how machines inherit human biases and further inequality.
Imagilabs
Co-founded by three alumnae – Dora Palfi (Class of 2016), Beatrice Ionascu (Class of 2016), and Paula Dozsa (Class of 2018) – Imagilabs aims to address the gender gap in the tech industry by teaching young girls how to code. The alums have long been champions of gender equality: Dora and Beatrice founded the student group WeSTEM (women empowered in STEM), and Paula was the first member.
