We are excited to announce that Aaron Macgregor, a student from
Blackburn College, is the winner of our annual student essay
competition.
Each year we choose a topical legal issue and invite students
from schools around the country to write an essay. There are cash
prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place.
Aaron produced an excellent essay on the impacts of Artificial
Intelligence (AI) in the workplace. He gave a critical evaluation
of the potential positive and negative impacts of AI, taking an
interesting historical perspective on this issue to help
contextualise his argument. The essay used a clear structure and
Aaron had clearly spent time researching the topic and identifying
specific facts to support his arguments; he wins £250.
Hana Finnerty of Moulton School and Science College came a close
second and received a £150 prize. Her essay demonstrated
excellent commercial awareness, examining the impact of AI across a
wide range of industry sectors.
Ada Butt of Blackburn College came third, with another strong
essay, and wins £50.
