The Policy Circle is launching a new series: the AI Insight Series, a resource designed to equip civic-minded women with the knowledge and tools to navigate the age of artificial intelligence.
The series kicks off with a powerful foundation: The AI Primer: Understanding Artificial Intelligence. Whether you’re a policymaker, entrepreneur, educator, or simply a curious citizen, this primer explains what AI is, why it matters, and how it’s already shaping industries, government, and our everyday lives.
WHY THIS SERIES MATTERS
Artificial intelligence is no longer reserved for technologists. From how cities manage traffic to how schools personalize learning, AI is reshaping public and private life. Yet many citizens feel left out of the conversation.
That’s where The Policy Circle steps in.
Our AI Insight Series is crafted for busy women who want to understand the forces shaping their communities and take informed action. Each installment breaks down complex topics like generative AI, data centers, algorithmic bias, and digital agents, all while exploring how AI intersects with education, healthcare, privacy, economic policy, and more.
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN IN THE PRIMER
- What AI is and the difference between narrow AI, generative AI, and predictive AI.
- How machine learning and large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT work.
- What digital agents are doing in businesses right now.
- The critical role of data centers in powering AI tools.
- How blockchain technology can help combat misinformation and deepfakes.
- Key players in the AI ecosystem—from tech companies to civic leaders.
- The biggest AI-related policy debates emerging today.
The AI Primer also links to helpful videos and credible resources from the National Science Foundation, IBM, WSJ, Britannica, and more.
EXPLORE. REFLECT. LEAD.
The AI Insight Series isn’t just about learning. It’s about leading. Each Insight will include takeaways and discussion prompts you can use in your Circle conversations, policy forums, or community meetings.
This isn’t the end. Upcoming topics in the series include:
- The Future of Money: AI and Digital Currency
- Protecting Privacy and Identity
- Education and Workforce Innovation
- AI’s Impact on Civic Engagement and Public Trust
- Illuminating Government: Transparency and Accountability
Stay engaged. Stay informed. And most importantly, step into the conversation.
