Background

About Clarence Okoh

I am a civil and human rights attorney, researcher, and policy advocate who works in deep collaboration with communities to create transformative social change. My current work examines the societal implications of artificial intelligence and other emerging technologies on the rights, freedoms, and material conditions of Black people and other historically marginalized communities. This work reflects my longstanding professional commitment to building just futures through bold, innovative, imaginative legal and policy solutions. I've been privileged to lead research and advocacy campaigns that influenced legislative, legal and public policy outcomes at the federal, state and local levels while widening pathways for greater community leadership in democratic governance. I provide strategic insights and analysis to a variety of stakeholders including community leaders, media, philanthropy, academia and policymakers. I offer over a decade of professional experience, leadership, and multidisciplinary skills to challenge emerging threats to society's most vulnerable communities.
