WRITING & POLICY

This collection represents my work at the intersection of policy, law, and technology. BlindSpots is a critical analysis of California's new legislation requiring prosecutors to view race-redacted evidence before making decisions. While the intent is admirable, no one had addressed the practical implementation challenges or scrutinized the research underpinning the law. Our team submitted the first substantive public comment, and remains the only group to comprehensively examine the bill's potential issues. This work demonstrates how policy analysis must go beyond good intentions to consider real-world feasibility and scientific validity. In my article "Examining Bias in Unsupervised Learning Algorithms," I explore issues in American case law regarding different types of unsupervised learning algorithms and their relationship to the 14th Amendment's due process clause. This piece bridges legal theory with emerging AI technologies, examining how our legal frameworks must evolve to address algorithmic decision-making. The article was accepted and published in Trojan Review, USC's undergraduate law review journal.
