Draft an AI Policy Proposal
Write a balanced policy proposal on a real AI issue.
Your mission
Research an AI policy issue and draft a proposal that weighs competing values and makes a defensible recommendation.
What you'll need
- A computer with internet
- Credible sources on the issue
- A document tool
Your step-by-step plan
Choose an issue
Pick a real AI policy question — facial recognition, AI in schools, deepfakes.
Research all sides
Gather the strongest arguments from every viewpoint.
Weigh the trade-offs
Map the values in tension — like the Policy Balance lab — and what each option costs.
Write the proposal
Recommend a policy, justify it, and acknowledge its downsides.
Make it yours
- Add how you would measure whether the policy worked.
- Debate your proposal with someone who disagrees.
How you'll know you succeeded
- Multiple viewpoints are represented fairly.
- Trade-offs are made explicit.
- The recommendation is justified and honest.
