Celebrating Our Young Visionaries Winter Intern

With our winter session closed, we want to recognize the exceptional inaugural member of the Young Visionaries Intern Program, Julius Mateo Wohnig, for an outstanding body of work and for the curiosity, discipline, and thoughtfulness he brought to the Tortora Brayda Institute this winter.

During the month of January, our Young Visionaries intern trailblazed in test running our new program and contributed original research and short-form analysis exploring the intersection of artificial intelligence, geopolitics, diplomacy, and governance; demonstrating exactly what this program is designed to foster:
➡️ rigorous thinking
➡️ ethical awareness
➡️ clear, compelling communication on complex local and global AI issues

With Mateo back in school, we’re proud to share that his published articles are now available on the Tortora Brayda Institute website as part of a dedicated Young Visionaries Program page -spotlighting emerging voices shaping the future of responsible AI and global AI thought collaboration.

Please join us in wishing Mateo continued success in his academic journey. We look forward to following what comes next and to the near-term launch of the full TBI Young Visionaries Program.
