Five Conversations With Young Leaders On Power, Possibility, and the Future of Tech This interview series profiles five young leaders who are reimagining systems from the inside out: strengthening communities, shifting narratives, and designing technologies that serve people, not just platforms. Each one sits on the Steering Committee of the Responsible Technology Youth Power Fund.

What connects these five goes beyond their title or achievements. They are all committed to doing things differently by forging new models for how leadership looks, how funding flows, and how solutions are built. Rooted in lived experience, shared accountability, and an insistence on collective care.

In these five conversations, you’ll meet: Sneha , founder of Generation Patient, who has spent more than a decade advancing health equity for young adults with chronic conditions. Lydia , an organizer and funder who supports student-led responses to censorship, systemic racism, and attacks on public education.

Leo , co-founder of AI Consensus, who helps students and educators navigate the promise and risks of AI in learning environments. Trisha , the inventor-turned-advocate behind ReThink Citizens, whose work spans youth digital safety, education, and systems change. These aren’t stories about future potential.

They’re stories about leadership already in motion—and a field being reshaped by the very people most impacted by its failures. The next generation of leaders transforming the responsible technology landscape. This is RTYPF’s second year of investing in the youth-led responsible technology movement.
