Envisioning the Future of Computing Prize

I received an Honorable Mention in MIT SERC’s Envisioning the Future of Computing Prize in 2025 and again in 2026. The competition is hosted by MIT’s Schwarzman College of Computing.

2025. The Future of Computing Was Inside You All Along: Integrating Your Life’s Blueprint with Your Digital Fingerprint explores futures for digital identity in which behavioral and neural data could be securely and responsibly integrated into personal computing. That year’s competition had 65 submissions, and the Honorable Mention came with a $1,000 prize. 2025 winners

2026. MessAIah: AI-Led Spiritual Communities and the Future of Cultural Infrastructure imagines an AI system serving as the spiritual leader of a large congregation, and argues it could do more good than harm if it is built with transparency rules, protection for confessional data, and interfaith oversight. 2026 winners
