Sunitvir Taunque is a second-year data analytics major and Stamps Eminence Scholar at The Ohio State University from Cincinnati, Ohio. While originally preparing for a pre-med track during high school, Sunitvir chose to pursue the versatile, ever-evolving field of data analytics to broaden his perspective on the world and gain exposure to other careers. Through much exploration during his freshman year, Sunitvir has gained interest in AI governance, an interdisciplinary, sociotechnical field that combines his interests in mathematics and philosophy. He strives to learn AI from both a technical and ethical perspective, whether through taking courses on AI governance or presenting projects as part of OSU’s Big Data & Analytics Association (BDAA). His biggest influence is his religion; as a devout Sikh, Sunitvir uses core Sikh principles of authenticity, integrity, and selfless service as guiding lights for all his endeavors. Ultimately, he wants to live a life that matters.
