Is AI a risk, or is the real risk ignoring it?

On Day 3 at Harvard Kennedy School, we dive into what “AI risk” truly means for government, policy, and society. From misaligned models and over-reliance on automation to environmental impacts and job futures, today’s sessions pushed us to see risk not as a reason for inertia, but a reason to act.

We also explored the opportunities: better public services, new tools for creativity, and smarter governance.

We wrapped the day by building our own AI Assistants, ready to test in real-world policy scenarios.

If you’re in government or shaping policy, this episode will help you move beyond “if AI” to “how.”
