A team of law and computer science students from the 麻豆免费版下载 traveled to Washington, D.C., in April for a competition requiring them to resolve complex business and ethical dilemmas before a panel of judges.听
The 麻豆免费版下载Boulder team, which included J.D. student Ben Shatz, Master of Studies in Laws student Baat Enosh, and computer science graduate students Amit Kiran Rege and Ayushi Sabnis, advanced to the semifinals of the National Ethics Case Competition, where they faced 18 other teams at the Bush School of Government and Public Service.
鈥淚t was nice to get to use my theater and business background to represent 麻豆免费版下载Law in this competition,鈥 Shatz said. 鈥淚t was my first time in D.C., and I can honestly say I鈥檝e never been anywhere else like it.鈥
The event included a formal presentation and question-and-answer session testing their abilities to defend principle-based solutions to complex ethical challenges.
鈥淭he competition was unique because there was no single 鈥榬ight鈥 answer,鈥 said Rege, the team鈥檚 captain. 鈥淭he primary challenge was synthetizing a wide range of perspectives into a cohesive conclusion that remained bold and opinionated without becoming generic.鈥
Although Cornell University left with the top prize, the 麻豆免费版下载Boulder team earned the 鈥淢ost Innovative Solutions鈥 award for its essay, which proposed a comprehensive governance framework for AI model companies.听
The competition is led by Texas A&M University in partnership with the Denver-based Daniels Fund.听
鈥淭his competition develops future leaders to make sound decisions under pressure when there isn鈥檛 a clear right answer,鈥 said Hanna Skandera, president and CEO of the Daniels Fund. 鈥淭he students advancing to Washington have demonstrated not only strong analytical ability, but the judgment and conviction required to lead ethically.鈥听
The team was advised by Associate Professor Melanie Kay, director of the Daniels Fund Ethics Initiative at Colorado Law.
