About Griffin Hayward

I am a first-year student at Duke University from San Francisco, intending to pursue a double major in Public Policy and Computer Science with a minor in Tech Policy. In my first year at Duke, I participated in the Implications of Artificial Intelligence Focus cluster, which has shaped my research interests in problems at the intersection of technology, policy, and philosophy. As a pianist and composer, I am currently developing my compositional practice and studying the ethical questions that surround computational creativity and machine intelligence in the arts. Outside of the classroom, I compete for the Duke Men’s Club Basketball team and serve as a piano mentor and a member of the leadership team for Duke’s Musical Empowerment chapter.
