Who Won the U.S. Presidential Debate?

While much has been made of artificial intelligence's promise to improve educational opportunities and outcomes, a group of Stanford students is highlighting the importance of a different perspective on AI in education: It isn't just about using AI to bridge gaps in educating our students. It is also about how we "educate" AI.

In a first-ever collaboration between the Stanford Center for Racial Justice (SCRJ) and Stanford Law School's International Human Rights and Conflict Resolution Clinic, 10 students recently had the opportunity to research and write a report on AI and education for Ashwini K.P., the United Nations Special Rapporteur on Contemporary Forms of Racism, Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia and Related Intolerance.

"One of the areas I specifically wanted to dive into while in law school was the intersection of artificial intelligence and racial justice," says report-co author Imani Nokuri, JD '25, "so this was a dream project."

The project found its way to Stanford Law School following discussions between the Special Rapporteur and Gulika Reddy, director of the International Human Rights and Conflict Resolution Clinic, about how the clinic can support the Special Rapporteur's mandate.
