Putting Healthy Guardrails on AI: A Product Development Workshop

[workshop requires a laptop] This is a hands-on design workshop about planning AI products that balance empowerment and impact with governance and risk. Working individually or in teams, you'll use an AI prototyping tool to define your objective, then map out what the AI should do, what data and APIs it connects to, what guardrails to put around it, and when to escalate to a human. You'll be able to demo a prototype of your application in real time. No technology expertise required. Bring a use case from your own work, or join a group and experiment. This workshop builds on real-world experiences designing governed AI tools for nonprofits, government, and global enterprises. You'll walk away with a product blueprint, working demo, and a framework for AI design decisions you can use in your real work.
