#RCSSchoolSpotlight: Jada Scott uses platform to discuss pros and cons of artificial intelligence 

Central Magnet sophomore Jada Scott was recently chosen to present a TED Talk. 

Scott used the platform to tackle the rapidly growing topic of artificial intelligence. 

Through insightful examples and personal experiences, Scott unveils the role of AI in various sectors, from healthcare to education, while addressing concerns such as accuracy, bias, and human originality. 

Jada Scott is not just a STEM enthusiast, she's a dedicated advocate for science and math. Her life-long passion is to inspire others to explore these fields. 

As a published author and visual artist of the children's book Talking Planets, she uses her creativity to educate young children about the solar system. Her fun and colorful storyline, told from the planet's point of view, is a testament to her commitment to making learning enjoyable and accessible.

Scott serves as a tutor in the Mu Alpha Theta math club and plays varsity tennis, but she's also a member of the Health Occupations Students of America (HOSA) and the MLK Leadership Academy of Rutherford County. 

Scott participates in the Girls Who Tech AI Scholars Program in partnership with WITT and Amazon AWS. In her free time, she gives back to her community by volunteering at the local tennis club, indulges her creative side through drawing, and broadens her horizons through travel and reading.
