Sci-Verse
A paradise for future STS-ers
About Us
Science and technology have revolutionized nearly every aspect of modern life—from healthcare and communication to transportation and even the way we think and interact. As these fields continue to advance, it’s essential to reflect on their ethical, environmental, and societal implications.
Sci-Verse is an experimental platform where high school students engage in meaningful discussions on these critical issues, blending perspectives from science, technology, society, and culture.
We are a diverse group of students, aged 15-18, from around the world, united by our passion for promoting Science, Technology, and Society (STS). Through Sci-Verse, we strive to create a dynamic space for publishing informed, rigorous work that boldly and comprehensively addresses the most pressing issues of our time.
STS is a study of the future through the lens of past experiences, and we invite you to explore the “futureland” of Sci-Verse!

What’s the relationship between artificial intelligence, the society and violence?
The paper discusses the relationship between artificial intelligence (AI), society, and violence. It argues that AI and modern technology contribute to societal polarization by creating echo chambers that reinforce existing opinions. Tech companies use AI to push personalized content, leading to a narrow view of events and increasing the likelihood of conflicts. The paper highlights how AI can amplify extreme views and influence behavior, citing examples like the US Capitol Riot. While AI improves daily life, the paper cautions against its potential to infringe on privacy and promote extreme opinions, advocating for a more balanced and gentle society.
Gender Inequality in Sport
The paper discusses gender inequality in sports, highlighting issues like pay disparity, biased media coverage, and sexism. Female athletes, despite their achievements, often earn significantly less than male athletes. The paper points to the Chinese women's soccer team and the WNBA as examples. Media coverage also favors men's sports, limiting visibility and sponsorship opportunities for women's sports. Additionally, female athletes face sexism, including restrictions on body image and clothing. While progress has been made in addressing these inequalities, the paper concludes that much work remains to achieve true gender equality in the sports world.
AI-driven Data Mining and Privacy: Convenience, Profits, and Crisis
The paper discusses AI-driven data mining and its impact on privacy. It explores how universities and companies use data mining to understand user preferences and improve services, often at the cost of personal privacy. The paper categorizes digital privacy into information, communication, and individual privacy, highlighting the benefits and risks of data mining. It also addresses the ethical concerns related to mass surveillance, referencing programs like PRISM, and the need for better privacy practices. The conclusion emphasizes the importance of awareness and potential solutions to protect privacy in the age of AI.
