Stella Choi \u201926, a recent graduate of Yale College, will be part of the first cohort of Lafayette fellows, a new scholarship created by the French Embassy in the United States to deepen the academic and cultural exchange between France and the U.S.<\/span> and to support young leaders interested in this transatlantic\u00a0relationship.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Choi is one of 30 recipients of the scholarship, which will support master\u2019s level study in\u00a0France.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As a Yale undergraduate, Choi studied cognitive science and education, with a focus on how artificial intelligence (AI<\/span>) is changing the educational landscape for students, and how young children are interacting with these emerging AI<\/span>\u00a0technologies.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She authored and self-published a children\u2019s book, \u201cShould Leif Trust Birdie the AI<\/span>?: An Educational Introduction to Digital Literacy.\u201d And for her senior thesis she designed a study exploring the effects reading such a book on children\u2019s knowledge and trust in AI<\/span>. She also held a variety of leadership roles in Korean and Christian organizations on\u00a0campus.<\/p>\n

As a Lafayette Fellow, Choi will attend the Paris School of AI<\/span> at the Universit\u00e9 Paris Sciences &<\/span> Lettres (PSL<\/span>), where she will complete a master\u2019s degree program in AI<\/span> and society.\u00a0She hopes to leverage this international perspective to develop AI<\/span> literacy tools for U.S.<\/span>\u00a0students.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Paris School of AI<\/span> at Universit\u00e9 PSL<\/span> is one of 15 leading French institutions that will partner with Villa Albertine, the French Institute for Culture and Education within the French Embassy in the United States, and France Science for the inaugural edition of the Lafayette\u00a0Fellowship.<\/p>\n

The first cohort of fellows was announced on June 1 and will be welcomed in Paris on July 4, coinciding with the 250th anniversary of American\u00a0independence.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Lafayette Fellowship is an investment in the next generation of American leaders and in the enduring friendship and partnership between France and the United States,\u201d said Mohamed Bouabdallah,…<\/p>\n
