Colorado Law; CU Boulder team competes in 2026 National Ethics Case Competition
"A team of law and computer science students from the University of Colorado Boulder traveled to Washington, D.C., in April for a competition requiring them to resolve complex business and ethical dilemmas before a panel of judges.
The CU 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...
The event included a formal presentation and question-and-answer session testing their abilities to defend principle-based solutions to complex ethical challenges.
“The competition was unique because there was no single ‘right’ answer,” said Rege, the team’s captain. “The primary challenge was synthetizing a wide range of perspectives into a cohesive conclusion that remained bold and opinionated without becoming generic.”
Although Cornell University left with the top prize, the CU Boulder team earned the “Most Innovative Solutions” award for its essay, which proposed a comprehensive governance framework for AI model companies.
The competition is led by Texas A&M University in partnership with the Denver-based Daniels Fund."
