AI transforms policy analysis by enabling faster processing of large datasets, resulting in real-time insights, predictive modeling, and evidence-based decision-making. It enhances objectivity, uncovers trends, and monitors legislative changes, while also raising ethical, bias, and oversight challenges to ensure accountability and public trust. In the initial years, you'll take classes on AI technology's societal impact, learning about data statistics, machine learning, biases, and ethical issues. As you progress, you'll study symbolic reasoning, formal logic, epistemology, and apply ontologies with computing methods. The program concludes with an internship and a capstone course addressing a real-world challenge for your team.
