Hayden Fu is a student at Saratoga High School in the United States. He has a strong interest in mathematics, computer science, and artificial intelligence. Through academic competitions and research projects, he continues to explore how technology can address real-world challenges.
Hayden has earned several distinctions in mathematics and technology. He is a three-time American Invitational Mathematics Examination (AIME) Qualifier and a USA Computing Olympiad (USACO) Silver Qualifier. In addition, he qualified for the Technology Student Association (TSA) TEAMS National Competition, where he placed 2nd in California.
Beyond these academic achievements, Hayden has explored the responsible use of artificial intelligence. Through the Aspiring Scholars Directed Research Program, he investigated how Anthropic’s Constitutional AI principles could help reduce political bias in ChatGPT-3.5.
For his research, Hayden tested more than 300 political questions. He examined the model’s responses to sensitive topics, including abortion and racism. His findings showed a significant reduction in bias on these topics. Furthermore, he presented his research at the Southern California Conference for Undergraduate Research (SCCUR) 2023. The study was also published in the International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) in 2023.
In addition to his research, Hayden contributes to his local community. He is a member of the Saratoga Library Teen Advisory Board. Through this role, he organises study sessions and recruits volunteer tutors. These activities help provide students with opportunities for academic support.
Hayden’s experiences reflect his interest in mathematics, artificial intelligence, and responsible technology. Moreover, his research demonstrates how students can investigate important questions about AI systems. By combining technical research with community involvement, he continues to develop his academic interests and contribute beyond the classroom.
