This course equips students to collaborate effectively and ethically with tools like ChatGPT to draft, revise, and refine writing across public policy genres—including memos, data briefs, personal narratives, and op-eds. Through hands-on exercises, students will learn to prompt effectively, edit critically, and integrate AI into their writing workflows without losing clarity, voice, or rigor. The course also addresses ethical concerns like bias, transparency, and professional responsibility. By the end, students will have built a portfolio that demonstrates not only technical fluency but also sound judgment in the use of AI for public policy communication.
