Jan De Leon (Fellow, Technology Policy)
Jan De Leon is an undergraduate student at the University of California, Berkeley majoring in Political Science with a focus on American Politics and an interest in International Relations. The advancements and implementation of policy throughout the U.S and around the world has always been fascinating to him, with current events in Europe and Asia being of special interest to him. Interest in technology stemmed from being intrigued on its evolution from the late 1900s to now, with that interest being interwoven with policy as new laws and court cases have arisen based on its increasing implementation around the world. With the emerging application of artificial intelligence and the increasing use of social media, he believes that robust policy should be adaptable to the changing conditions brought by technology. Jan joined ACE to further promote its mission of fostering democratic engagement in young voters through nonpartisan policy analysis while also learning more about technology policy.
