How much do we rely on the internet? We shop, study, work and even dream online, says Shaurya, and the more we engage with technology, the more vulnerable we become – especially young adults who think they know everything about the digital world. A Grade 11 student and cybercrime survivor, Shaurya is dedicated to promoting digital safety. Last year he coded an AI-powered chatbot for the International Baccalaureate personal project. Building on this project, he seeks to raise awareness by sharing practical insights and strategies to empower young adults in navigating and securing their online spaces in today’s digital era.
