AI assistant aids legal education in Ghana with 32K student queries

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed Eskwai for Students, a generative AI assistant designed to aid legal education in Ghana. This retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) system draws from a database of over 12,000 case laws and 1,400 pieces of legislation specific to Ghana. Deployed over 30 months, the tool was used by 3,100 students who submitted 32,000 queries, providing insights into student usage and raising ethical considerations for responsible AI deployment in the Global South. AI

IMPACT Provides a model for deploying specialized generative AI tools in educational settings within the Global South, highlighting usage patterns and ethical considerations.
