[Determinants of Socially Responsible AI Governance,” 1 of 13 standout pieces on Scholastica]

Grateful to Scholastica for highlighting my article, “Determinants of Socially Responsible AI Governance,” as one of thirteen standout pieces in its 2025 lookback on leading trends in legal scholarship.

The article develops a justice- and equity-centered framework for AI governance, using justice, equity, and the rule of law as core yardsticks for evaluating AI systems from development through deployment. It examines how AI can expand access to justice for marginalized communities while also entrenching inequality through biased data, opaque design choices, and governance gaps.

Drawing on comparative analysis across the United States, European Union, China, and Singapore, the article shows how different regulatory models balance innovation, transparency, and accountability and argues for proactive, risk-based governance that embeds equity by design rather than relying on after-the-fact correction.

I am thankful to Penn State Dickinson Law for its continued support of interdisciplinary and policy-engaged research, and to the Duke Law and Technology Review editors, readers and the scholarly community whose engagement continues to sharpen this work.
