Stanford professor develops artificial intelligence tool to target racist housing covenants in California

Some California counties are turning to artificial intelligence to help identify and remove racist language from housing deeds?language that, though outlawed decades ago, still appears in property records today. In 2021, the state passed a law requiring counties to review millions of records and eliminate discriminatory covenants, creating a significant challenge for county recorder offices. Now, an AI tool is helping to lighten that burden. Daniel Ho, Stanford Law professor and director of the university's Regulation, Evaluation, and Governance Lab, joined us on 'The Nine' to explain why he helped develop this groundbreaking technology.
