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

  1. Choose an issue

    Pick a real AI policy question — facial recognition, AI in schools, deepfakes.

  2. Research all sides

    Gather the strongest arguments from every viewpoint.

  3. Weigh the trade-offs

    Map the values in tension — like the Policy Balance lab — and what each option costs.

  4. 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.
