It is actually scary how much and how AI is being used at the Kennedy School by students. It's completely within the possibility that students will go on to use AI to contribute to policy decisions in ways that create harm.

I take a class at the Harvard Ed School taught by Melanie Rucinski like this. 1 hr lecture, 2 hrs going through papers and applications! I enjoyed it even with econometrics background.

Yes, that's exactly what I'm advocating. I would pay for the research and development costs upfront and then have all new drugs and medical devices available as generics the day they are approved. I discuss this in Rigged, chapter 5 [it's free] deanbaker.net/books/rigged...
