A Learning Design Challenge
   Set inside a company that thinks it’s already handling AI well.

       Second week in the job. Your manager sends a message:

“We need a learning experience on AI ethics. Something people will actually engage with. Not a policy doc dressed up as a course. Six weeks.”

   The company uses AI across every department. Most employees interact with it daily. Almost none have had any guidance on using it responsibly. Leadership thinks awareness          is the problem.

    You’re starting to think it runs deeper than that.

  Before you design, you talk to people. Five conversations. Five departments.

“We always review AI copy before it goes out. Well — almost always.”

“The tone is sometimes off. But the queue is long, so we usually just send it.”

“I don’t fully understand how it flags anomalies. Neither does my manager. We just act on it.”

“It saved us hours. I didn’t look too closely at how it ranked people.”

“I’m the only one who reads the model documentation. No one else bothers.”

  Five people. Five different thresholds for when they stop and think. None of them feel like they’re doing anything wrong.

Six weeks. Modest budget. An audience that ranges from skeptical to enthusiastic. Your job isn’t to teach AI ethics as a subject. It’s to design moments where people notice they’re making a choice.

Four decisions. No perfect answers. Just tradeoffs you’ll have to own.
