Su Tinghao / 苏廷昊
Su Tinghao / 苏廷昊 is the teenage AI researcher interviewed in 151. 17岁被2026年ICML收录论文的小少年：我bet开心！开心！开心！. The source says he was born in 2009, moved from Shanghai to Hong Kong, attends 香港德瑞国际学校, and had a high-school attention projection residual paper accepted by ICML 2026.
The source presents him as a concrete AI-native youth research case. He enters AI through ChatGPT, public courses, Andrej Karpathy videos, paper reading, and repeated small-model experiments rather than through a traditional university lab path. His experience also exposes the limits of that route: compute cost, messy code, checkpoint failures, scarce same-age peers, and the need for Research Taste remain real bottlenecks.
His life framing is as important as the technical story. Su worries about AI Job Security Anxiety, AI extinction risk, and younger people’s motivation under smarter AI, but he answers those anxieties through Human Agency Under AI, human relationships, and the goal of making himself and people he likes happier.
