This honour highlights Riaz's efforts to promote greater equality, expand access to justice, and encourage thoughtful approaches to the design of artificial intelligence. AURA LAW, the artificial intelligence legal assistant developed under his leadership, introduces substantial efficiency improvements for legal services while remaining compliant with ethical and professional regulations. His published research and advocacy have facilitated discussion on reliability and accountability in technology governance for legal systems.
Innovation In Legal Technology
AURA LAW was established through a partnership with Dr. Usman Hadi at Ulster University's School of Engineering and provides a structured model for enhancing public access to legal information. The platform relies on fairness assessments and ethical standards to ensure its automated decisions are impartial and transparent, and its implementation has improved operational accuracy in document classification. This system allows for a significant reduction in initial assessment time, ensuring timely and consistent legal guidance in line with established regulatory standards.
Riaz's body of work examines the applications of artificial intelligence in legal contexts, investigating the impact of algorithmic bias and comparing legal frameworks across the EU, UK, US, and China. His methodology pairs technical development with close attention to compliance and professional integrity, supporting processes in which automated systems assist rather than replace legal experts. Feedback from the community and professional stakeholders indicates improvements in service quality through the streamlining of repetitive work, while also protecting ethical responsibilities.
Institutional Reform And Global Advocacy
While serving as the first international and BAME+ vice president for equality and belonging at Ulster University Students' Union, Riaz represented over 27,000 students and worked to advance policies that promote inclusion. His projects included the creation of permanent spaces for prayer and breastfeeding, the launch of a housing partnership for international students, and the coordination of events that encouraged cultural participation. University officials and governance councils recognized his leadership, and policy results followed in several areas that required attention to diversity.
Riaz participated in high-level forums such as the United Nations, where he addressed the General Assembly to discuss priorities for health and sustainability. His presence in the European Parliament's Foreign Affairs Committee demonstrated the ability to participate in structured dialogue about security and governance. Recognition through awards such as Undergraduate Student of the Year 2025 and the Good Relations Community Champion Award 2025 highlights his sustained involvement domestically and internationally.
