Experts say AI is a force for good
Both Einstein and Hawking, who were brilliant physicists and are considered two of the greatest geniuses in human history, have IQs in the 160s.
Adhara, who graduated from high school at the age of seven, was considered far above average for mainstream education and had her master's degree issued early.
The course she took was Systems and Industrial Engineering, with a specialization in Mathematics from the Technological University of Mexico.
Currently, the young woman is working at the Mexican Space Agency (AEXA) and contributes to the instruction and encouragement of other young people who want to follow a scientific career.
bullying and discrimination
Despite his level of intelligence comparable to that of the great geniuses of humanity, Adhara Sánchez has already suffered discrimination for having a speech impairment that is caused by autism.
The prodigy girl's mother, Nayeli Sánchez, said in an interview that she had to change her daughter's school on three occasions because of the rejection she suffered from some peers and even teachers.
“The teachers were not very empathetic, they told me they had problems teaching Adhara. With that, she started to exclude herself, she didn't want to play with her classmates, she felt strange, different”, reports Nayeli.
“She even wanted to go to school, but she couldn't for a long time. There came a point where she didn't want to do things anymore,” she continued. “She was very depressed, people had no empathy, they made fun of her,” her mother said.
Despite the disrespect suffered, Adhara remains firm and now thinks about studying to become an astronaut and reach Mars, embarking on space missions in the future.
“I want to go to space and colonize Mars”, said the young woman. “If you don't like where you are, imagine where you want to be. I see myself at NASA, so it's worth a try”, said the brilliant 11-year-old girl.
In 2022, the University of Arizona offered a scholarship so that Adhara could study astrophysics. However, visa problems prevented the young woman from going to the United States at the moment.
