Capstone overview

Develop a discipline-specific Responsible AI Integration Strategy for one approved, bounded use case. Integrate authoritative evidence, affected people, AI and non-AI alternatives, workflow and responsibility, verification, fairness, accessibility, information protection, rights, governance, monitoring, remedy, future scenarios, adaptive safeguards, and a final HUMAN review.

Decision focus: Recommend conditional adoption, a limited pilot, redesign, deferral, a non-AI alternative, or stopping. Do not assume that AI adoption is the preferred outcome.

What the project should demonstrate

  1. Define a legitimate purpose, bounded scope, evidence of need, assumptions, and exclusions.
  2. Ground the strategy in disciplinary standards and applicable authority.
  3. Identify users, affected non-users, communities, beneficiaries, and risk bearers.
  4. Compare human-led, conventional digital, AI-supported, and no-action alternatives.
  5. Bound the AI role and preserve human-only work and decision authority.
  6. Select and integrate relevant course frameworks.
  7. Design verification, validation, acceptance criteria, and qualified review.
  8. Address fairness, accessibility, privacy, security, rights, authorship, and integrity.
  9. Classify inherent and residual risk and connect controls to accountable owners.
  10. Provide monitoring, incident response, contestability, correction, remedy, and stopping.
  11. Develop four future scenarios and adaptive safeguards.
  12. Complete a HUMAN review and give a qualified recommendation.

Discipline-specific streams

Professional practice

Apply relevant standards, expertise, accountability, validation, and client or public duties.

Organizational integration

Address workflow, procurement, information governance, workforce effects, monitoring, and incidents.

Open interdisciplinary

Use an approved topic that draws on more than one discipline or practice context.

Required strategy components

1. Purpose and need

Problem, intended outcome, evidence, scope, assumptions, exclusions, and decision question.

2. People and authority

Stakeholders, affected non-users, participation, power, rights, duties, and authority.

3. Alternatives and workflow

AI and non-AI options, bounded AI role, human-only work, stages, sources, review gates, and PARTNER responsibilities.

4. Integrated analysis

Relevant frameworks, evidence, validation, fairness, accessibility, information, rights, and integrity.

5. Governance and remedy

Risk, controls, owners, approval, monitoring, incidents, contestability, correction, redress, remedy, and stopping.

6. Futures and recommendation

Four scenarios, adaptive safeguards, revalidation triggers, HUMAN review, residual risk, and qualified conclusion.

Five capstone tutorials

Complete the tutorials in sequence and use the resulting records to build the final strategy.
