More than a report

Make an emerging issue feel usable now.

Public-health organizations needed more than warnings about artificial intelligence. They needed a clear framework for developing policy—one that could hold research, sample provisions, ethical questions and practical guidance without overwhelming the people expected to use it.

Template and Guidance / August 2025

The starting point

Seventy-six pages.
One adaptable framework.

The Template and Guidance translates a fast-moving policy challenge into a structured working document. Six core policy areas use distinct colors, repeated icons and consistent page architecture to help readers move between context, sample language and self-reflection.

Color makes the structure visible.

The recurring head graphic creates recognition. Inside, color and icon families orient the reader across data privacy, bias mitigation, human oversight, transparency, community engagement and training.

From reading to doing

The guidance becomes a working session.

An eight-page interactive notetaker adapts the system for the Association of Ohio Health Commissioners. Participants assess readiness, work through policy sections and leave with priorities and next steps—not simply a stack of presentation notes.

The system expands / 2026

From public health to hospital governance.

The next generation translates responsible-AI policy into a modular hospital toolkit: a 41-page customizable template paired with a 36-page section-by-section companion. The new honeycomb identity distinguishes the audience while preserving the system’s clarity and practical purpose.

The work travels

Guidance built in Kansas.
Used far beyond it.

By April 15, 2026, the broader AI educational program had reached nearly 8,000 attendees through in-person and virtual offerings spanning 13 jurisdictions and a growing roster of national organizations.

AI’s environmental footprint gets its own visual argument.

A separate 20-page report examines data centers, energy demand, water use and policy responses. Its dark, luminous visual language deliberately steps away from the policy-template identity while keeping dense research approachable.
