Top SchoolBaobao Zhang is an Associate Professor and the Maxwell Dean Assistant Professor of the Politics of AI at Syracuse University who studies trust in digital technology and the governance of artificial intelligence. A Yale-trained political scientist with an MA in statistics and a PhD, she blends rigorous survey methods and quantitative skills to measure public and elite opinion on AI and to design policy responses to labor automation. Her work spans the U.S. welfare state, climate attitudes, and methodological innovation, and she has held fellowships at Cornell, MIT, Harvard’s Berkman Klein Center, CIFAR, and Oxford’s Future of Humanity Institute. As a Schmidt Futures AI2050 Early Career Fellow, she brings rare cross-institutional perspective on long-term AI risks and practical governance. Based in Ithaca, she combines academic depth with policy relevance, often translating survey evidence into actionable recommendations for welfare adaptation.
