The AI policy conversation is broken — not because people disagree, but because they lack the infrastructure to disagree productively. This fellowship is building that infrastructure. As a Fellow at Harvard's Berkman Klein Center, I'm developing the AI Triad Rosetta Stone — a unified framework for translating between the three dominant communities shaping AI policy: Accelerationists, Safetyists, and Skeptics. These groups use identical vocabulary (risk, harm, safety) to mean entirely different things, making durable policy nearly impossible. Applying systems-engineering principles to public discourse, this project will: - Survey and synthesize existing AI policy taxonomies - Build a diagnostic schema to separate value conflicts from factual disputes - Stress-test the framework through structured cross-disciplinary workshops - Publish The 2026 AI Triad Rosetta Stone toolkit for policymakers, press, and engineers The goal: move the conversation from three simultaneous monologues to structured, productive dialogue.
