AI • Law • Fairness

Alejandro Salinas de León

NLP Research Fellow at Stanford Law School’s LIFT Lab advised by Professor Julian Nyarko. I study how AI interacts with legal systems and society while helping institutions deploy it responsibly.

Research focus
I build and evaluate AI systems for law: measuring bias (race, gender), studying AI tutors for legal education, and designing evaluation methods that lawyers and courts can trust.
Consulting (LatAm)
I advise agencies, courts, firms, and startups in Latin America on AI policy, risk, and deployment: audits for bias, governance frameworks, and building legal tech solutions. Subtle, outcomes‑first, no hype.
