<div><p>The <a href="/law/academics/daniels-fund-ethics-initiative-collegiate-program-colorado-law" rel="nofollow">Daniels Fund Ethics Initiative Collegiate Program at Colorado Law</a>'s seventh annual <a href="/law/ethics-tech-competition" rel="nofollow">Interdisciplinary Ethics Tech Competition</a> was held on February 4, 2023. Eight teams comprised of students from a range of academic disciplines collaborated to form a hypothetical task force testifying before a Congressional Committee to provide recommendations on how - if at all - the U.S. government should regulate deep fakes. They sought to answer the question:</p><blockquote><p>As viewers can no longer tell the difference between real and faked content, how do we draw the line to harness the beneficial aspects of this technology while protecting against harm?</p></blockquote><p>The top three teams won scholarship awards of $10,000, $4,000 and $2,000, respectively. </p><p>The three highest-scoring teams were as follows:</p><ul><li>1st Place: Shayan Abtahi (Law), Lucia Jayne (Computer Science), Yamineesh Kanaparthy (Business Analytics) and Sarah Sorenson (Law)

</li></ul><p>The Daniels Fund Ethics Initiative Collegiate Program at Colorado Law is a partnership that allows us to make <strong>ethics a central part of every law student's education. </strong>Held annually, the Interdisciplinary Ethics Tech Competition gives students a chance to wrestle with a real-world ethics problem in collaboration with a diverse team of students studying law, business, communication, journalism, engineering, ITP, information science, or computer science. Past case problems have featured a tech company grappling with ethical obligations related to its facial expression recognition product, and an online platform's efforts to address the challenges presented by "fake news."</p><p>The competition provides students with the unique opportunity to work as part of an interdisciplinary team on a problem involving ethical, legal, business, technology, and privacy issues similar to what they are likely to encounter after graduation. This hands-on learning experience prepares students to collaborate effectively across disciplines in their careers, and positions students to be ethical members of business management teams.</p></div>
